About this place
Pass through attractive native bush, alongside a stream, to an old dam - it's an easy and popular walk.
The route
This walk passes through native bush alongside the Mangarata Stream on the way to an old dam. There's a cleaning station at the start of the track for you to clean your shoes to stop the spread of kauri dieback. The track is an easy gradient with an all-weather surface. But be alert for falling rocks on the narrower parts of the track between the waterfall and the stairs. Don’t stop on these sections and be extremely cautious in bad weather, when the likelihood of falling rocks increases.
Longer option
For a longer walk, you can do the Hakarimata Summit Track that continues on from the end of the Waterworks Walk. Hakarimata Summit Track info .
