Langs Beach Scenic Reserve
Langs Beach Scenic Reserve Tracks
At 15 hectares, the Langs Beach Scenic Reserve is the largest reserve in our immediate area, and one that had languished unused for 30 years becoming infested by weeds. Initial work involved removing significant wild ginger infestations, revealing an old farm road which was then developed to become our “Main Track”, an easy grade that runs for 750m from the entrance on Cove Road to a boundary gate in the top SE corner of the reserve.
There is now an upper loop track which branches from the ‘Main Track’, down ‘The Shoulder’ to ’Fantail Flat’, then up ‘Tapper Track’, and around the top boundary of the reserve. A junction half way along gives the option to return to Fantail Flat via the ‘Cascades Track’, or continue along the loop track and drop down into Canyon Creek Track, joining with the Puriri Loop Track.
