HRT-b Thames to Paeroa Trail (Hiking)

Encounter lush farm land, pass through small towns with a few glimpses of the Waihou and Ohinemuri Rivers. Ends near the giant L&P bottle

Covering 32.5 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 7 hours and 14 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

With start and finish just a short distance apart, this near-loop trail offers most of the convenience of a circular route with a subtly different final stretch. Look for the HRT-b trail markings to stay on the official route.

A Regional Walking Network (RWN) route, this trail weaves through the regional landscape connecting villages, viewpoints, and countryside.
