Jubilee Track

This is a recently reopened track. The Jubilee track is over 100 years old but was little used because it crossed private land.

However the Rotorua Chapter of Forest & Bird have purchased a section of land which has allowed the lower section of this track to be re routed so that there is now full public access from Paradise Valley Rd.

A couple of hundred metres up the track it passes the last remaining Northern Rata on Mt Ngongotaha and in this area intensive pest control is being done by the Ngongotaha Bush Restoration Trust. Further up the track passes a trough native forest and several large Rimus before coming out onto Mountain Rd just below the summit of Mt Ngongotaha.

There is no vehicle access to Mountain Rd at this point but you can walk back down the road or return the same way if you wish.
