Wooded Gully Track.
Red Pine Track

Located in Mount Thomas Forest Conservation Area in the Canterbury region

This track starts from Wooded Gully picnic area and joins the Wooded Gully Track.

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.

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