Getting there
Puketi Kauri Forest is signposted from SH10 south of Kaeo and north of Waipapa. It can also be reached from SH1, north of Okaihau.
Please take care when you leave the State Highway as you will be travelling on unsealed roads.
The start of the track is from above the quarry site, 6km up the Mokau Ridge from the Waiare Road. Park on the roadside and walk or mountain bike to the track start. The Mokau Ridge is accessible to pedestrians or mountain bikers only.
