Lees Grove Track is a local walking track starting from Lees Grove in Lowry Bay, Lower Hutt, holding a 4.7 Google rating.
Bushwalks nestled along the Eastern Bays hills typically provide a steady climb through native regenerating forest, linking suburban streets with wider ridgeline trails. A quality track in this terrain demands sturdy footwear with decent grip, particularly after wet weather when clay sections and tree roots can turn slick underfoot. Regular walkers know that tracks tucked into these coastal valleys often feel sheltered from the prevailing winds, offering a quiet, shaded ascent before opening out towards higher viewpoints. Checking daylight hours before setting off is always wise, as dense native canopy tends to darken quickly in the late afternoon.
For those exploring the hills around Lowry Bay, the track offers a straightforward entry point right off Lees Grove.
