Can you spot the Spoonbill
The Styx River Mouth Conservation Reserve is a short 2km loop. It is a perfect spot for an easy family stroll, picnic, photography or birding. This lesser known hidden gem is a peaceful location with stunning riverside scenery, the distant Southern Alps and significant saltmarsh and wetland habitats.
For a longer walk, connect up to the Te Rauakaaka Trail, and Templars Island Trail.
To access the park head to 20 Harbour Road - Brooklands, Christchurch
