Taylor River Reserve
Description
Located in Blenheim with access from Nelson Street (SH 6) and various other points in Blenheim including Henry Street, Monro Street and Beaver Road.
Approximately 4.6 km of concrete paths snake their way on both sides of the Taylor River providing walking/biking access from Riverside Park to Brayshaw Park. The river itself can be canoed or kayaked and it is a designated dog exercise area with doggy bag stations provided at most car parks.
One of the many programmes run as part of the Taylor River operation is the Taylor river Writers' Walk.
The Taylor River Trail, (south of Brayshaw Park/New Renwick Road) is a chip path, ideal for mountain bikers, walkers and runners and continues another 5 km south down to the Taylor Dam Reserve.Amenities
