Onerahi Shared Path

Distance:  6km
Time to walk:  1 hr 30 mins

The Onerahi Shared Path starts at Dave Culham Drive (Pohe Island) and runs east alongside Riverside Drive, then onto the start of Old Onerahi Road.

From there, you can easily access Waimahanga Road and Boswell’s Track, a bike-friendly gravel walking track leading to harbour-side shared paths and the southern tip of the Onerahi Peninsula. It is relatively flat, always near sea level and is popular with walkers.

Combining these paths can make for a total length of about 6km.

The path does not reach the top of the hill on Onerahi Road and does not provide direct access to Whangārei Airport or the main Onerahi shops. The suburban roads that lead to these places in Onerahi tend to be quiet but steep.
