About this place
This walk follows a branch of the tramline through the bush to the North South track, and returns along a separate tramline branch back to the road.
The route
This walk includes a section of Old Kaimai Road and can be walked in either direction. From the carpark at the Tuakopae Stream Bridge on Old Kaimai Road, the track crosses a clearing before reaching a junction. A short side track leads down to the base of a waterfall and large swimming hole. The main track continues to join up with the western branch of the Henderson Tramline. When the tramline ends the track follows haul lines to the summit. Turn north on to the North South historic track until meeting up with the junction at the northern tramline. Follow the tramline east, then a cut track through the bush to the park boundary and along the edge of cleared land beside a deer fence. The track crosses two large tributaries of the Rataroa Stream before reaching the Old Kaimai Road. These are not bridged, but are normally shallow enough to cross with care. Follow the road back to the start of the track.
