Daltons Track opened in March 2011 following a collaborative process involving the Trust, private landowners, DOC, Marlborough District Council, and the New Zealand Walking Access Commission.  

The track is to tramping track standard. It has a natural grassed surface, stiles over fence lines, and several unbridged creek crossings, which are straight forward in normal flows.

From Daltons Bridge the track follows the true left bank of the Pelorus River up and along the grazed pasture margin to the Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve. It then emerges through forest at Pelorus Bridge a short distance from the Campground/Shop/Cafe where there is parking and public toilets.

The track passes through 2 working farms and includes lengthy sections where access has been provided courtesy of private landowners. The Trust gratefully acknowledges the generosity of these landowners and, to ensure ongoing goodwill, asks trampers keep to the marked route and respect the following conditions of access:

·         Track use is restricted to trampers during daylight hours only;

·         Stiles are to be used where provided;

·         Farm operations and stock have right of way;

·         No dogs, camping, fires, cycles or firearms.

 Thanks for your co-operation.
