No. 1 Line Track

https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/manawatu-whanganui/places/ruahine-forest-park/things-to-do/tracks/no1-line-tracks/

Located within the Ruahine Forest Park which consists of beautiful bush covered ranges.

The track heads into forest immediately behind the car park and consists of a series of reasonably steep climbs interspersed with a few level sections to get your breath back. Not far from the beginning is a huge rimu and a bit further on is a large rata. As the track climbs higher up the ridge, lovely views out to the west are frequent. Just before the main track finishes there is a wonderful lookout giving views up to the main range and back out towards the coast. The drive to this track is scenic, and takes you high up to the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges. No. 1 Line is a gravel road. 

Key things to remember in the outdoors:

Stick to the trail and respect the environment by making sure the only thing you leave behind are footprints.

The weather can change on an instant. Make sure you plan ahead, take the right clothing and adequate food, water and supplies. Check out these gear lists for walks and hikes.  

  • Tell a trusted person your plans and when to raise alarm if you haven't returned. Send them the information directly, or use  Plan My Walk.
  • Get an up-to-date weather report from the  Metservice website before setting off.
  • Follow the five essential steps of the  Land Safety Code. 

Please note that recreational hunting is one of the main forms of animal control in this area today. More details can be found via Department of Conservation.

 

 

A small clearing in the forest gives wide views out for a far distance. Farm land and hills can be seen in the distance.
