Waipu Cove Trail


Trail Description

The Waipu Cove Trail is an ambitious project driven by the community. The Waipu Cycle and Walkway Trust was formed to see this project through with support from Whangarei District Council.

The shared trail is an off-road route from Waipu Village to Waipu Cove of approximately 7.5 km in length.

The trail is mostly flat and wide, so definitely rideable with the kids. 

The trail passes through farmland, with views of Mt Manaia at Whangarei Heads when traveling towards the village and glimpses of the estuary and Bream Bay.

Volunteer planting days and donations have been used to create large areas of native planting and daffodils along the trail. These stretches of the trail will only get better with time.
