Description
Waikuku Stream, Te Kauri Park Circuit
Walk
From the carpark at Te Kauri Lodge, carefully cross the road (SH31) to Manuka Track and descend to the swingbridge. Then take the Waikuku Track alongside the stream to a wooden bridge and follow the signs for the Sheep Track. Just before the bridge there is a junction with a track that leads to a camping site and nice picnic area. Back on the main track, take the Sheep Track up to the ridge with views out to Kawhia and Pirongia, and complete the circuit back to the car park.
There are a number of other short walks and days walks in this reserve.
Getting there
The track is accessed off SH31.
Plan and prepare
Before you go into the outdoors, tell someone your plans and leave a date to raise the alarm if you haven't returned. To do this, use the New Zealand Outdoors Intentions process on the AdventureSmart website. It is endorsed by New Zealand's search and rescue agencies and provides three simple options to tell someone you trust the details about your trip.
Please note: Dogs are prohibited on all Waikato area tracks except for certified guide dogs and permitted hunting dogs.
