Turakina Valley Waterfall is a walking track at 38 Locks Rd in Hunterville, in the Rangitikei hill country, carrying a 4.3 rating from four Google reviews. Waterfall walks in hill country like this usually follow farm tracks and stream beds rather than formed paths, so sturdy shoes are worth packing and gates are best left as found. Flow is the thing to time: falls show at their best after decent rain, though that is when the ground is muddiest, while a dry spell can leave only a trickle. On rural tracks it also pays to check access arrangements before setting out. Tucked down Locks Rd a short drive from Hunterville, this track offers walkers a proper taste of the Rangitikei back country.
