Car parking for the trail is available at the trail hub and pump track situated in Blaydon Street, Waikaia (near tennis court and golf course) then follow the arrow signage through the township to McKee Park over the bridge to start the forest trails. No car parking is available at McKee Park.

Stage one of the Waikaia Forest Trails hub base in Waikaia township, which includes pump track and picnic area. Graded Earth from Christchurch completed the development and build of the hub base. They were supported by Wilkins Farming, Russcoll Excavating, Switzers Valley Transport, Nathan Braithwaite – Wilkins Farming, SVT gravel/consent, James and Denise Anderson and Ray and Mairi Dickson. It has been an exciting time for the Waikaia Trails Trust and the Waikaia Community after 2 years of planning and completing all necessary documents with SDC. Generous grants from funding organisations and other community run fundraising events enabled the Waikaia Forest Trails Project to move to the build stage. The Trust would like to thank all the incredible and much appreciated support we have received from so many different elements of the Southland community.
