Attractions and Facilities

Hendersons Tramline Loop Track
(Moderate walking, stream crossings, 4hrs
return)
From the Tuakopae Stream Bridge the track
runs through a clearing, past a junction with a
side track to join the western branch of the
Henderson Tramline. From the top of the
tramline the track follows haul lines to a summit
before turning north and continuing to a junction
at the northern tramline. The track follows the
tramline, then cuts through bush to run alongside
a deer fence on the park boundary. The track
crosses two tributaries of the Rataroa Stream
before reaching Old Kaimai Road for the walk
back to the start of the track. The stream
crossings are not bridged, but are normally
shallow enough to cross with care.
Car parking is provided at the start of the track.
There is a swimming hole below a waterfall on
a side track a short distance from the start of
the walk.
