Maramataha Bridge is a 141-metre suspension bridge on the Timber Trail, an 84-kilometre cycle and walking trail through Pureora Forest in the central North Island. It is one of the longest swing bridges in the country, and it crosses a stretch of forest and river that is home to the rare whio, or blue duck. The Timber Trail website counts eight suspension bridges on the trail, and the bridge is near Ongarue, in Ruapehu. It is the trail's best-known feature, and the trail's own pages describe it as one of the stops along the forest route.
The trail is graded intermediate and takes about two days to ride, though it can also be walked or run, and it is open all year. Bike hire, e-MTB hire, shuttles and luggage transfers are offered through official trail partners, and accommodation ranges from camping and eco-lodges to glamping and cosy lodges. The website says the trail is free to ride, with a donation welcomed, and that the local i-Site in Taupō can help plan and book a trip. No customer reviews or nearby comparisons for the bridge are included in the listing.
