About the trail
Spicer Link is one of the most popular trails within Te Ara a Rangituhi. This flat, easy trail is ideal if you’re out for a leisurely family walk or learning the basics of mountain biking.
The trail weaves through the Porirua bush, leading walkers on a 45-minute journey. Allow more time if you have young children — the path offers glimpses of fairies tucked in among the trees.
Spicer Link is a shared, two-way trail and serves as a catchment for some of the downhill mountain biking trails in Te Ara a Rangituhi. Bikers are expected to give way to walkers.
