Spicer Colonial link

Tawa, Wellington, New Zealand

This track links Colonial Knob South with Spicer Forest on the northern side of Track Palace.

Intermediate

Foot

This track is well signposted off the route up to Colonial Knob from the Spicer Forest car park. It is also part of the Te Araroa walkway. However, the track through the forest, although reasonably well marked with orange posts, is steep and very slippery after wet weather. Hopefully over time it will be upgraded to be of the same standard as the Colonial Knob and Spicer forest tracks. The track does provide some interesting options for variations from the Colonial Knob route.

Track leading off Colonial Knob walkway

Signposted off the Colonial Knob South track about halfway up. There are no signposts in the Spicer Forest track - the track emerges in the wide grassy clearing a little way south of Track Palace. First timers either use a GPS or take the route from Colonial Knob walkway.

Slippery when wet. Whilst mountain bikes are allowed on Spicer Forest track, they are not permitted on Colonial Knob walkway. Motorbikes and dogs prohibited.
