Take the road to Leigh until Quintal Road ...
The trail starts at Matakana and winds its way up past the cemetery, past the turn off to Omaha and Tawharanui, past the Country Park and on to the turn off to Quintal Road on the right. It is a reasonably busy tar-sealed road that would need to have a footpath constructed to be safe. It shares the route with the Te Araroa Trail and also often has large pedestrian numbers with activities at Country Park.
