Thread: Waipakihi road

Heading to waipakihi to go camping and do a little hunting. We have been before but we have never gone right to the end of waipakihi road. I know the road turns to gravel (that’s as far as we have driven in) but further along I believe it comes to the river. Is it easily crossed on foot? We will have our 5yo with us. And if we take a 4 wheeler can we cross on that and are there tracks to take using a 4 wheeler? I read there’s a few good camping spots along the river and then you can head on up to waipakihi hut. Any info would be great 😁
