Te Kuru Wetland Tour

The Te Kuru Wetland is a fabulous new trail and wetland addition to Southwest Christchurch.

Part of the flood protection scheme this area has been heavily planted with native species and has become a bird haven with a great wee series of trails. This run gets you a nice cruisy 5km with great views of water, flora, fauna and the nearly Port Hills.

You can start/ finish at several locations but this route starts you at the main carpark on the southern side of the reserve, Head out around the eastern fringe around the lake to a bridge. Cross this bridge and loop the newest northernmost part of the wetland (at time of publishing, there are more extensions likely in the future).

Complete the loop then head west along the obvious trail before hitting Sutherland Road where you cross the small waterway and begin the return back to the beginning.
