This track is part of Te Araroa Trail.

The Fenceline Walk passes through regenerating forest above the Ōtaki Forks campsite and gives some good views of the Waiotauru Valley.

The track crosses a slip 10 minutes from the carpark, care should be taken in this area.

Ōtaki Forks is 19 km inland from Ōtaki township – approximately 1 hr 30 min drive from Wellington or Palmerston North. The easiest turnoff from SH1 is at Ōtaki Gorge Road, just south of the SH1 bridge over the Ōtaki River.
