Mate that sounds great! Certainly looks to be heaps to explore over there.

This area is on the left of the Wairau River bridge as you leave Renwick heading to Havelock. Entry point is immediately before the bridge on the south side. A mix of river bed, 4wd track, gravel road, and a small amount of singletrack and all sorts of other nooks and crannies to explore. If you enter by Renwick and the water level is low enough you can pick you way all the way up to the Waihopai Valley River (?) bridge on SH63. This is a good little play area if you have time to spare en route.

Other areas along here include the Tuamarina Track (part of the DB1k route) where you can find play areas alongside the river on the northern bank, and also entering on the south side of the Tuamarina Bridge you can ride a good few kms on gravel, riverbed & singletrack up to Selmes Rd, pop out onto Rapaura Rd and head west to Renwick that way. You do have to look for the tracks. If you jsut floow the gravel rds you will bypass them all and wonder where the fun was.

Oh, and the fishin aint half bad either!

Edit thanks to lb99: Note it is a 40km/h speed limit and there are often gravel trucks operating in and around the river areas so keep you wits about you.

be very careful of gravel trucks up there, we have a gravel pit a few ks up as does another business, I am careful when up there but maybe not all drivers are, I have seen a few trucks over the bank over the years, as well as being passed by many that are barely in control......
