Start in Kopu and head out on this easy (Grade 1) bike trail, the newest section of the Hauraki Rail trail! This section is an easy ride which is mostly along the top of stop banks beside the Firth of Thames taking in the Kaiaua Shore Birds, (the Pūkorokoro/Miranda Shorebird Centre is well worth a visit), lush farm lands and wetlands with magnificent views to the Coromandel Ranges.
