Lover's Walk is a walking track at Pokeno, in Franklin, and holds a 4.7 Google rating.
A rural track's appeal is mostly underfoot: expect grass or clay surfaces, perhaps a stile or two, and mud that lingers after rain, so sturdy shoes earn their keep. Stock often graze alongside the route, so leave gates as you find them and keep dogs on a lead unless a sign says otherwise. Regulars tend to walk early, when the air is still and the light sits low over the paddocks, and they check conditions after heavy rain, since low-lying tracks around the Waikato can flood in winter.
For Pokeno locals and travellers on the Auckland–Hamilton run, Lover's Walk makes for a handy excuse to stretch your legs in Franklin's open country.
