The Waikato River Trails is a combined walk- and cycleway along the Waikato River. Originally conceived and started by local politicians and trustees, in 2009 the trails became one of the seven Quick Start Projects that form the beginning of the New Zealand Cycle Trail.[1][2] The trail is proposed to be 100 km long, out of which 50 km existed before the NZCT scheme was created.[3] In mid-2011, work on the last sections of the cycle trail project sections was begun,[4] while the official grand opening occurred early November 2011.[5]
