Mangamahoe Trail Map: Updated

Here's the latest map of the growing trail network at Lake Mangamahoe. Note the green tracks closest to the road (at right on the map) are generally easier and are child/beginner friendly.

Sadly we will lose some of the northern area to logging in May, so go out and try before then, and take a friend. The new Plymouth Mountain Bikers will be working with NPDC and Taranaki Forestry Services to re-establish the trail network in the area after logging - there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved.

The recent additions to the trail network have involved considerable work by the club, particularly Craig Treanor and Shane Wilson.

Click the map to enlarge - it should print to A4 size. (Last updated 25 March 09)
