Red Pine Track starts at the campground end of Wooded Gully picnic area. The track follows the stream through beech forest for about 1 hour 30 minutes until it joins up with Wooded Gully Track.

Just before the track swings right towards Wooded Gully there is a large rimu (red pine) that is well worth a look as it is one of the few remaining in this forest.

For a shorter walk, take the Kereru Track link to reach Wooded Gully – this will give you an hour-long loop walk.

These tracks started from the Wooded Gully camping and picnic area.

From Oxford, follow Ashley Gorge Road for 13 km to Glentui. Continue on Birch Hill Road for 6 km then turn into Hayland Road and follow this for 4 km to the end.

Birch Hill Road can also be accessed from Rangiora via Loburn.

You will need to ford a small stream close to the beginning of the track when walking in a clockwise direction, as the bridge has been removed.

Wasp populations reach high numbers from January to March – wear light-coloured clothing and carry antihistamine cream/tablets as a precaution.

Possum trapping using leg-hold traps is taking place in this area. Ensure your dog is on a leash and under control on this track to keep them safe.
