We have seen a huge increase in trail walkers \u2013 but most have found it hard to get good quality information about this section of the trail. Please note, for safety reasons, we are only allowed to put solo paddlers on the River if we have other paddlers doing the same section at the same time.<\/p><p>This is often hard for trail walkers as you often like to paddle all the way to Wanganui. If you are having trouble finding a paddling companion please go to our Facebook page where we will actively promote dates that trail walkers are looking for paddling companions. We have also purchased bikes, so if we cannot safely put you on the river further downstream then Pipiriki, then you can hire a bike from us.
