Spring is here and it’s a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the many walk and cycleways Te Aroha has to offer. Spring is the perfect time to climb Mount Te Aroha.

The walk to Whakapipi Lookout is a good challenge and if you are feeling adventurous, keep going to the summit. If flat terrain is more your style, try the Howarth Memorial Wetlands.There are rest areas where you can just enjoy the sun, or challenge yourself daily and beat your best time.

If you prefer pedal power, get out on the Cycleway. You can cycle to Paeroa and through the Karangahake Gorge to Waihi, or head towards Matamata and enjoy the Kaimai view – you can also see Wairere Falls from the trail.
