Access to the regional parks and Department of Conservation areas is what the Hutt Valley does best. You are never more than a kilometre or two from an entrance way to a path that will lead you as far as you choose.
A short walk or mountain bike, or a multi-day adventure into the wilderness. A slow stroll or cycle along a beach, or maximum effort to climb a mountain. Rivers or beaches, hills or mountains, forests or above the tree line; you'll find it in the Hutt Valley.
Coastal dunes to historic trails, farmland to lush native forest, the parks and forests of this region offer a variety of terrain with most walks offering the chance to take a break and enjoy a picnic or swimming.
