The trail follows an old water race leading eventually to the dam that fed it. Easy to follow.
Old water race and dam.
Small off road area to park just beside the start of the trail. If you have a smaller vehicle, try Beaconsfield Road via Pareora West if there's been heavy rain.

Easy.
Easy trail to navigate. No real opportunities to get lost - just stay relatively close to the river.
Patchy.
Windproof jacket, Beanie/thermal headwear, Cellphone
No water available.
The ford prior to the start of the trail can become dangerous during high river flows.
Do not swim above or directly below the dam. The flows can be swift and the water is very deep in places.

Nice easy trail through bush and grassy single tracks. Can extend up a short steep climb to get great views of the river

Great little pit stop to stretch the legs on long drive. Thankful I wore my long tights for the lush (overgrown) wet grass surrounding trail. Might pay to note access from whatever direction involves gravel road and fords so probably not a goer after heavy rain in catchment.

Lovely single track trail along the river bank beneath the trees. A perfect recovery jog for this morning.

Relaxing run in lush grassy trail and beneath trees along the Pareora river.
