Pororari River - Bullock Creek Road Track

This track links the Pororari River Track with the scenic Bullock Creek Road and follows a section of the Inland Pack Track, passing through part of the Paparoa limestone syncline (a fold of stratified rock).

The mature forest here supports many birds, including rare species such as kākā and kiwi. Cyclone Ita in 2014 caused the extensive treefalls you can see here. Once the Bullock Creek flats are reached, continue to the T-intersection, and turn left to follow the track markers to the car park.

Complete the loop by walking down Bullock Creek Road (6 km) and out to SH 6. From here, it is another 1 km south along the highway to return to the Pororari car park.

Start from the car park by the Pororari River bridge, 1 km north of the Paparoa National Park Visitor Centre on SH6.

Bullock Creek Road can often flood. Do not go into the area via this road during heavy rain.

Hunters may be within the area of the lower and upper sections of the Pororari River track - take care.

Heavy rain will cause the lower and upper section of the track to possibly become impassable. Before you go into the area check the Paparoa National Park weather forecast – NIWA website.
