Summary
This brochure introduces walks and activities that a visitor may wish to try when visiting Reefton and its environs. The area can be explored using a range of walking opportunities such as short walks or tramping tracks.
The walking opportunities in this area are located in or around the Victoria Forest Park. A network of tracks is available; many resulting from historic mining activity and on many of them there are mining relics to see as you walk through regenerating forest. Other tracks will offer you stunning river, lake and mountain scenery. The area also has many ecological areas.
You can also walk around the town of Reefton to discover old historic buildings and you can drive to mining communities such as Waiuta and Blacks Point to explore our historic heritage.
As with other walks on the West Coast, the walks around Reefton can be affected by the weather so it would pay to check at the Reefton Visitor Centre for the most up to date track conditions.
