About this place
Cross the Inangahua suspension bridge to follow this track up stairs and along the old Progress Water Race.
The route
Cross the suspension bridge over the Inangahua River to reach a good track following the disused water race. The track ends at the Deep Creek – Inangahua River confluence where you can go back the way you came, or carefully cross the Inangahua River at the marked ford and walk back to the bridge along the highway.
