Matarangi Bluff Track

4.7 km loop - 2 hr 30 min - 3 hr Nestled in the hills between Matarangi and Kuaotunu on the Coromandel Peninsula, this popular track was conceived by retired local residents in 2010. Built entirely by volunteer labour, residents wanted to provide a recreational area with an educational element for the community. The track is well defined through regenerative natives, pine and wetlands with some stair sections and some narrow crossings (wetlands). It is often jogged by locals in the mornings. It is suited to walkers of all levels with fairly easy gradients and only small steeper sections.
