Paines Ford — Attraction in Tasman

I completed the walk, which starts at Paine's Ford and ends at an exit gate on East Takaka Road. The track is flat and easy as it follows the river, crosses a wetland area on a wooden board walk, and then crosses farmland. Nice deep swimming spots along the way. Suitable for cyclists. You would need someone to meet you at the far end. Signs say "No Dogs". I really enjoyed this walk. I'm surprised it isn't signposted with more...

🧙‍♂️ Harmonious river spot excellent walk for the dogs 🐺 and great rock jumping spots for swimming in summer Small amount of local graffiti from the talented super artistic Takāka area 💥 If you explore around bridges and the likes.. Maybe leave a friendly positive reminder you were there for yourself! 👁🎨🔮🤔✌👽💚💛🧡❤🐇 And you can climb...

Fantastic sport climbing with a wide variety of grades & styles. The rock is very stable too so is an absolute pleasure to climb. Such a picturesque location for climbing too & the nearby river provides much needed relief on warm days plus the option of doing some deep water...
