Te Awa to Waikato River Trail On-road Connection

The 40km, on-road connection between Te Awa at Lake Karapiro and the Waikato River Trails is clearly signposted with the NZ Cycle Trail logo. Look out for these signs en route!

The 40km is undulating with some areas of narrow or no shoulder, so be aware this is a Grade 3 ride and entirely on open country roads.
