Enjoy views of the Manawatu River loop and farmland while learning about the history of the area from historic signs and photographs along the walk.
Start at the junction of Purcell St, Stewart and Harbour Streets in Foxton.
A short 1km loop track in the trees affords views of the river and can be walked or cycled.
For a longer walk exit the pines after 500m onto the grassy track through active farmland, and onto the Moutoa Floodway stopbanks via step-over styles. The walk is 3.6km-long (one way). Allow about two hours for the return trip or arrange a ‘pick-up’ at the northern end of the Trestle Bridge.
Note: Partially formed track/surface. Take care to leave gates open or closed as you find them. Stop banks may be grazed by stock.
