Ashley River/Rakahuri above Rangiora-Loburn bridge (Cones Road)
This site is located just north of Rangiora near the bridge that links the Rangiora and Loburn areas (also known as Cones Road bridge).
The water quality site is beside a large developed recreational area with toilets, picnic tables, BMX area, walking and cycling tracks. In summer a swimming area is mechanically formed in the gravels. The river at this site can dry up during the summer months. As cyanobacteria is often present here care should be taken when exercising dogs.
