Water safety

If you plan to enjoy the water, learn how to stay safe when swimming, boating and fishing.

Kumutoto Bay – Kumutoto West Track

The track from Kumutoto Campsite to the next bay is closed due to a large windfall and a slip. The slip is 30 metres across and has removed the track entirely in this section.

Do not attempt to cross the windfall or the slip. Access to the camp and the jetty are not affected by this damage.
