Voted as one of the 101 Must Do's for Kiwis!

The Karangahake Gorge historic walkway follows the old Paeroa to Waihi railway line with the remainder of the track following the banks of the Ohinemuri River. Old mine buildings and machinery can be seen from a number of locations on the walkway.

The reserve consists of 85 acres of bush, donated by Mr Henry Sharplin in 1926. Before that time it was milled, so the only old surviving trees would be those not suitable for timber at that time. The long loop is posted as a 1-hour walk, with the short loop at 20 minutes. However, both loops together are about 3.2 km in length and can be walked in about 1 hour, while taking time for photos and reading the information panels.

Walking time 1.5 hours, can be a little muddy if wet and a medium level of fitness required.....but well worth the walk.
