Keywords:Time: 1 hr 30 min one way
Distance: 4.7 km (one way) plus 0.5 km loop track
The walkway ranges from easy walking to steeper areas in places with stiles and steps, with boardwalk/wobbly walks constructed through wetland areas. A loop track provides views over a stunning area of the river and access to the northern bank via two footbridges.
The walk goes through areas of restoration and regeneration of wetland and native plantings, and crosses rolling pastoral land beside the river. Small waterfalls set amongst native bush add to the area's scenic beauty, and trout are plentiful.
Getting there
From Rotorua drive on SH 5 west towards Tirau, take the Putaruru turning on Whites road (SH 28). The downstream entrance at the Whites road layby is just past Leslie road. The Blue Spring end is 3.6 km along Leslie road.
