Kainui Bike Park

05/04/2026

Kainui Bike Park trails are still closed.

The Great Taste Trail between Wai-iti and Quail Valley still have not been fixed after the July floods which is the only official entry and exit to the park.

12/07/2025

Kainui Bike Park is currently closed. There has been significant flood damage to the Tasman's Great Taste Trail which has affected both the Wai-iti and Quail Valley entry/exit points to Kainui. Please be patient and respect all closures.

Our thoughts are with all our community who have been affected by the relentless weather our region has faced over the past couple of weeks.

Please be aware there are a few trees down at Kainui, which will be sorted after the weekend. Ride safe.

14/05/2023

Tasman's Great Taste Trail is open from Wai-iti and Quail Valley so Kainui Bike Park is open.

There are a few trees down that we know about and will be getting them sorted soon. Good news is that our tracks are running mint after the recent weather so go and enjoy!

This means that Kainui Bike Park is unable to be reached as both our public access points are closed due to the damage from the Wai-iti River. This will allow us time to check the conditions of the tracks and for the sunshine to do its thing. Will keep everyone posted.

TRAIL UPDATE: The Wai iti River reached over 90 cumecs yesterday afternoon causing major damage to the trail. Consequently the section of the trail from Wakefield to Quail Valley is closed until further notice.

Take care out there.

‼️IMPORTANT NOTICE‼️

Saturday 22nd April - Thinners in Kainui

Due to recent windfall damage there will be thinners clearing trees on Buckwheater Bends and Way Down West trails this Saturday.

There will be signs in the areas being worked on as well as a spotter who will stop riders when chainsaws are in use. Please be patient and respect these workers and the job they are doing.

Please also consider the rainfall we have had and the effects this will have on our tracks. If in doubt give it a day or two for things to dry up (as long as the rain stops!).

Cheers

Trail Update: Exciting news, we now have an additional section of 'Way Down West' open which allows you to connect back onto 'Up, Up & Away' (see left arrow on map). This means you can do some laps of the top section before you come down to Beehive Hub. Just remembering that Way Down West is a grade 3 trail.

So now your options are:
* Option 1: Up, Up & Away, down Buckwheater Bends (Gr2) to Beehive Hub (no change)

* Option 2: Up, Up & Away, down Buckwheater Bends (Gr2), then onto Way Down West (Gr3, see map) and back up Up, Up & Away (Gr2 uphill, see map).

* Option 3: Up, Up & Away, down Way Down West, then onto Buckwheater Bends to Beehive Hub (no change)

* Option 4: Up, Up & Away, down Way Down West, then exit to Up, Up and Away and do another lap or do option 1, 2, or 3

Please be mindful that there is a small section connecting Way Down West to Buckwheater Bends that is now two-way. Please be careful of other users as this isn't a wide section.

We also now have additional signage in place on these trails so you know where you are going and also 'wrong way' signage.

Thank you to the trail crew for getting this section completed to provide us with additional riding options at Kainui Bike Park
