Thread: Waihopai area

Plenty of areas. Just no access unless you happen to know a nice farmer who will let you cross their land to acess crown land.

When I look on WAMS there are plenty of legal roads (ie paper roads) that cross farm land to the DOC land. https://www.wams.org.nz/wams_desktop/index.html THere is opportunity for access here.

The access to Lake Alexander is a $20 donation PP to cross the farmers land and park your vehicle. If I remember correctly.

Good info, although there is a legal road that provides access all the way in on the north bank of the river. The problem is the formed track doesn't follow that legal road.

It will be shut off for lambing now.

I believe most people hunting the Waihopai either know someone, as it's tightly controlled by the land owners to protect from poaching (understandably), or fly in to Ferny Gair or Glazebrook etc.
