Kaka Road is 10km of Taranaki gravel which is handy to get to Kiwi Road and Moki Road if you are heading up SH3 from New Plymouth.
Kaka Road is well maintained however gravel roads in this area are usually graded around late-winter/early-spring and can be very loose until they settle in. Kaka Road may seem fairly remote but can get busy with local traffic at times.
From the West Kaka Road winds its way through a narrow valley before heading over a range of bush clad hills and then down onto farmland.
Track type: Gravel Road Track composition: Smooth, Firm, Undulating Slippery when wet? No Suitable for bikes <650cc? Beginner Suitable for bikes >650cc? Beginner River crossings? No
Kaka Road in April 2017. Photos out of order sorry. we travelled from Uruti to Okoki. First photo is near the end of Kaka, second is the intersection with Uruti, third and fourth are going up the hill after the intersection.
Just adding this pic so you know that Kaka Road heading east to west provides great views out to the Tasman. A word of caution, which applies to any gravel road. While I was parked roadside taking this photo, a Toyota ute went barreling past kicking up gravel and dust and the scary bit was this ute had been doing the same thing on the wrong side of the road on several blind corners while coming up the hill – visible from the tyre tracks on the road. It was a timely reminder to always keep well left!
The google maps satellite image is showing ocean around the Marshall Islands.
Yes, that’s the glitch I need assistance from a PHP whizz for. All new tracks I add are doing it.

I met the grader working on Kaka Road yesterday so the gravel is a wee bit loose but will settle in quickly with the usual local traffic.
