The Isaac Farm track is now open for the public to enjoy. This track is an extension of the existing Isaac Loop track, and now continues past the Isaac Carr, to Coutts Island road and the Waimakariri Recreational Reserve. The land owned by the Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust provides a vital linking corridor between several existing recreational areas (The Groynes, Clearwater Resort, Roto Kohatu, and the Ecan Walkways within the Waimakariri Recreational Reserve.) Public foot access across the Isaac bridge spanning the Otukaikino is easily accessed by parking at either the Sawyers Arms Reserve or Clearwater Golf Resort and by following the walking path adjacent to the river.
