★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent walk. Highly enjoyed as you walk along side this man made water path. Nice scenery, first part of the walk starting to the left is walking on a road path. Second part is really nice with the man made water walkway. Then the last part is not at well maintained. The history is pretty interesting reading about the Pupu Hydro power. Highly recommended. Took a couple of hours but well worth it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful walk or run.
I ran this track, highly recommend heading up the zig zag track first. The water race is very cool, although narrow in parts. Lots of picnic tables along the top to rest. Just over 5.5 kms.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing track with spectacular views. It shows an amazing feat of engineering for the time it was built. For a fair easy track with small children head to the left. For a hard start and easy finish head to the right.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved this walk, walking up through native bush was fantastic although the track was a little challenging for this old girl. Quite washed out and a bit rough, well worth the effort to walk along where the hydro race is, it is quite high so views amazing, birds are wonderful and interesting history of this hydro and how it works..

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I live down the road from here and if you like hill running it's amazing. I would suggest going up the steep rocky side to the right and come down the gently side on the left to finish. It's about 45 minutes taking it easy. 36 going hard.
Walking it I'd say it's about 1 hour 20 minutes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sensational place for a short walk. Interesting to see the water races but the bush and views are great. Also a good place for a run. Just sayin.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely stunning and beautiful! This would have to be up there as one of my favourite tracks. It's 5.7km including the 320m to the lookout on the way down.
Tautoko (confirm/echo) what others say - go up the left, zigzag track first which is about 1km up. After heavy rain it will be wet, the terrain is a mix of clay and rocks. It was reasonably wet when I went, which was 4 days after rain.
Then you follow a water race in a flat and well maintained track for about 1.5km. This is very cool. Some bridge parts are very narrow (see photos). Lots of picnic tables to stop and eat. Then an upward and downward gravel track.
I ran most of this 5.6km trail, it took 46 mins (I don't consider myself a fast runner, usually 6-6.5min kms on the flat, however I do have a preference for hill running).
