Kawaka Intake 30 Jan - 1 Feb 2025: Manawa Energy have a digger working in the Kawhaka Intake area over the next two days. This is not expected to impact on cyclists but please take care in this area.

Totara Bridge Closure: Due to the structural condition of the Totara Bridge it has had to be closed. Riders are able to ride down to the bridge from either side but are not be able to cross it as barriers will be in place. This is an unfortunate situation that is outside the control of the Westland District Council and the Council apologises for any inconvenience. Alternative options are being explored. A map of the closure is shown below.

Cowboy Paradise: If you are not a paying guest staying at Cowboy Paradise please pass straight through without sitting on the decks or entering any of the facilities. Refreshments and toilets are no longer available. Picnic tables are provided on the southern/Hokitika end of the main street of Cowboy Paradise. Please take all rubbish away with you and ensure nothing is left onsite. Thank you.

BOOKING YOUR TRIP: We encourage everyone booking trips to use the operators listed on our website. They are the Official Partners and supporters of the trail. They are also kept up-to-date with all trail alerts and notifications.
