Moumoukai Farm Track

Hunua Ranges, Auckland, New Zealand

Nice single track loop

Intermediate

Bike

Head down the road down the valley. Go through the gate on the left fork. Keep going up down the valley past the track to the right leading to the River Loop. Keep going on the road. Look out for the track leaving the road to the right. It is after you start to climb a hill. Make sure you take the track labelled Moumoukai Farm Loop (or Farm Loop, can't remember). Follow the signs carefully. There are times when you traverse large paddocks and the track isn't distinct. Apart from the paddocks most of the trail is single track. At about 7.3km you go back onto the road again. Ride about 1/2 km along the road and look for the single track going off to the left. This is the nicest trail in Hunua, about 1km mostly gently down hill. Watch the ditch when you rejoin the road. Down the steep hill and then turn right to take the track back home. It is an easy ride on an a shady 4wd track. At about 10.5km there is a hump in the road and a steep track down to a stream. Through the stream and 30m back up to the road. Easy ride back home.

Don't forget to grab a Hunua Ranges Regional Park Map at the carpark from the box on the side of the covered noticeboard.
