UPDATES FROM DOC

Ruahine Forest Park

Coppermine Creek Track:
The last section of the Coppermine Creek Track is closed as a substantial slip has made it impassable. The Wharite and Loop Tracks are not affected.

Rimu Track: The Rimu Track is closed from Takapari Road.


Kaweka Forest Park

Lakes Carpark: Access to Lakes Road and carpark (off Kuripapango Road) in the southern sector of the Kaweka Forest Park is closed to the public from 28 February to 1 April 2011 due to forestry operations in the nearby Pan Pac Douglas Fir Block.

Makahu Road: Caution is required at the Makahu Road ford which is 8 km before the roadend, and before you get to the Kaweka Forest Park boundary. The Hastings District Council has placed a marker pole in the stream to indicate the safe crossing level. Logging is taking place at Makahu Station on Makahu Road. Expect to encounter delays, rough road conditions and logging trucks.

Charlie Brown Road: Charlie Brown Road, behind Robson's Lodge, is closed to walkers and vehicles until mid May 2011 due to logging operations.
