About the trail

Access Track in Rewanui Forest Park is a flat, easy-going track. The trail crosses farmland to the start of the other walks which will take you further into the park.

Getting there

The track starts at the Rewanui Forest Park car park. To get there from Masterton, follow Te Ore Ore Road towards the Castlepoint for 22 kilometres. Look for the Rewanui Forest Park sign, with the main car park 400 metres beyond it.

Know before you go 

  • A toilet is available at the end of Access Track.
  • Take care during winter as the tracks can be muddy and slippery. Access Track also crosses farmland so the ground may be uneven from stock animals.
  • Take warm waterproof clothing, durable footwear, sunscreen, food and water.
  • Children might want to wear long pants. The tight tracks sometimes have sticks, burrs and the occasional stinging nettle.
