This cache is hidden on the Maitai River Walkway.
The Maitai River Walkway follows the Maitai River through central Nelson. The walkway begins at the Maitai River mouth and extends for eight kilometres to Maitai Motor Camp in the Maitai Valley, passing through a mixture of urban and natural surroundings along the way. The walkway is a great option in summer as there are many swimming holes and picnic spots to stop at along the way.
The Maitai River Walkway can be accessed at numerous locations in the central city. Good starting points for walks are Millers Acre and Riverside Pool. The walkway can be completed as an out-and-back trip, or you can combine it with other tracks to create a longer circuit (Botanical Hill and Tantragee Saddle are good options). At the upstream end of the walkway there are car parks on each side of the motor camp.
The walkway is sealed from Rutherford Park to Nile Street and has a smooth surface beyond that point. There is a gentle increase in altitude from 2m to 45m along its course. It is open to both walkers and cyclists, though as it is busy and narrow in sections, cyclists need to be respectful and courteous towards people on foot.
