Public access at Devil's Bridge Wetland

2026 Duck Hunting season has ended, so back to usual rules for the wetland - look forward to seeing people back there enjoying our wetland :)

NOTE: after the flood, there is a lot of silt on the track and it is VERY muddy and slippery. Take care and its best enjoyed in gumboots for now. :)

* If you want to take a dog, or a large group (such as a school class), please contact us in advance. It's nearly always fine, just to manage any clashes.

* Contact details are on the page

* Otherwise, feel free to go any time. Hope you have fun

* The wetland is private land, but there are only a couple of simple conditions: please stay on the track, take rubbish away (there are no bins), and leave the gates shut.

Thanks

DUCK HUNTING SEASON - DEVIL'S BRIDGE WETLAND ACCESS BY PERMISSION ONLY

The first weekend in May marks the traditional start of duck-hunting season. There will be several groups of hunters at the wetland for opening weekend, and there may be hunting there at any time through the season.

*For this reason, any one wishing to visit the wetland over the coming months MUST ask for permission first.*

This will normally be granted, we just need to know when people will be at the wetland.

Thanks for your understanding, will post when normal access resumes.
