Cameron Ridge

Parangarahu Lakes, Wellington, New Zealand

Traverses the ridge between Lake Kohangapiripiri and Lake Kohangatera.

Intermediate

Bike and Foot

A grassy track that climbs through farmland to the ridge between Lake Kohangapiripiri and Lake Kohangatera. With great views of the lakes, and beyond, this is a very picturesque area.

This track can be ridden either as a diversion from Baring Head, or as part of loops around either or both of the lakes. At a clearly sign posted major intersection, head north along Kohangapiripiri or drop down to the right for Kohangatera Lookout.

This track can be ridden in either direction, though it is easiest to go along Baring Head past Lake Kohanapiripiri to immediately before the Lake Kohangatera outlet, where the track is initially a 4x4 road that goes up the hill. Follow that road, which soon becomes grassy, to the ridge.

At a sign posted intersection, turn left to go up a bit and then down a very steep descent to the eastern shore of Lake Kohanapiripiri and then back to Baring Head 1.1 km from where you started.
