About this place
This lovely 3-km loop track leads through a grove of regenerating kauri and offers views of the Taheke Waterfall.
The route
The main track is a 3 km loop walk which takes you through areas of regenerating kauri forest. Branching off the track is a short detour to a viewing platform overlooking the Taheke Falls (no water access). From here there is an impressive view downstream over the Taheke Scenic Reserve.
