Are there any age requirements for hiking the Milford Track?

Yes, there are age restrictions for hiking the Milford Track. The Department of Conservation (DOC) has implemented a rule that prohibits children under the age of 10 from hiking the track. This rule is in place for various safety reasons, including the risk of hypothermia, and because the accommodations along the track are not equipped to accommodate young children. The DOC strictly enforces this rule, and special permission would be required from the DOC to bring children under the age of 10 on the Milford Track.
