Coppermine Trail is listed as a national forest at 204 Hardy St in Maitai, Nelson, with a Google rating of 4.7. Its name suggests a walking or riding trail.
Forest trails reward a bit of preparation. Check the track conditions and weather before you go, since rain can make paths slippery and creek crossings harder. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water, sun protection and a warm layer, and tell someone where you are going, because mobile coverage can drop out under trees. Stay on formed tracks, follow any signs on closures or hazards, and take all your rubbish home. If the trail is shared with mountain bikers or runners, keep to one side and listen for them coming. Dogs may be restricted in forest areas, so check the rules first. Regulars go early, when the paths are quiet and the light filters nicely through the trees, and they carry a small first-aid kit.
For anyone in Nelson looking for a walk, Coppermine Trail off Hardy St is a local place to head into the trees.
