Dogs on a leash only. Other pets on conservation land rules.
Just past the Totara Flat Campsite, cross the Kauaeranga River (there is no bridge). Follow the Tarawaere Stream, crossing it many times, to the remnants of a rafter flume dam (on which the model dam near the visitor centre is based). At the intersection above the dam the left fork continues the loop back to the Kauaeranga River. The other fork connects with the Billygoat Walk.
The Kauaeranga Valley is east of Thames on the Coromandel Peninsula.
