Activities in the Lindis area

Walks, tramps and biking

This region provides recreational opportunities from short walks to challenging mountain-biking and tramping trips.

Access

There are three main entrance points to conservation land in this region:

  1. A car park approximately 11 km along Birchwood Road in the Ahuriri Valley.
  2. A car park on SH8 at Dalrachney road bridge.
  3. A car park signposted on the Otago side of Lindis Pass.

Public access easements

There are public access easements crossing through several working high-country stations. Always respect the landowner's livestock and property; stay on the marked
track until you reach the conservation land, leave gates as you find them and use stiles where provided.



Other activities

Hunting

Hunting is confined to public conservation land. As Longslip, Breast Hill and Dalrachney stations border this land it is important that hunters confirm the status of the area in which they intend to hunt. Hunters need to obtain a hunting permit from the local DOC office.
