MARAETAI FOREST NOW OPEN VIA REWA RD OR OKARORO RD ENTRANCE! WHITFORD FOREST NOW CLOSED... PLEASE KEEP OUT. Thank you for your cooperation.

Join The Club

Day Passes are available at Prenzel in Whitford and Gas Maraetai Service Station for $10. All proceeds go towards the upkeep of our tracks. Thanks for your support.

The Maraetai Forest caters for mainly cross country riders as there's alot of hill climbing to get to most of the downhill tracks. Since 2010, there have been more tracks being built, the funding and purchase of two purpose built trailers for developing regular shuttle ride days for members to enjoy in order to keep vehicular traffic to a minimum. We are affiliated with Mountain Bike NZ and the club is also set up to cater for road bikers and multi-sporters when interest grows.

Do you know these people?

WHITFORD IS CLOSED. If you ride there you will get caught by Forestry management camera’s and your details will be sent to the police. You put the whole club at risk by riding there. These people were in there on Sunday, by the harvesting site. Do you know them?
