A muddy dip in the Waimakariri is in store for visitors to this swimming hole, formed as the Otukaikino Creek feeds into the large river. This hole is sheltered and gets a low flow for a pleasant swimming experience. There is space for parking under the motorway bridge.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
