Styx Mill Conservation Reserve

Unclaimed

A real hidden gem in the city ! Beautiful nature reserve with stunning walking trails and amazing views around the lake and Styx river. Nice variety of flora and fauna, perfect for bird watching or just casual walk to enjoy wildlife, birds, butterflies in beautiful surroundings. The best thing is that it’s relatively quiet and. It crowded, so one can enjoy a walk in nature with many people and get some peace of mind. There are many quiet spots and benches to rest and enjoy the view. Dogs are only allowed in designated area which is how all the reserves should be and bikes are not permitted. On the entrance there is a small car park for max. 10 cars.

Lovely dog friendly walk that has a lot of different scenery and little pools for your pup to have a dip when it's hot.

Nice walk, easy trail. Couldnt find if there was a full loop

Nice short walk about 90mins loop from the car park. Lots of good bird spotting and lush forest. Lovely walk all times of year though it can get quite muddy in winter.

Nice and quiet I just went for a drive some where different in Christchurch went for a walk had a look round :-) I took a few photos of walking track from the carpark and a native walk which was fenced off but allowed public access as long as dogs were on a lead to not disturb the nestlings.
