Cross the suspension bridge over the Inangahua River to reach a good track following the disused water race.
The track ends at the Deep Creek – Inangahua River confluence where you can go back the way you came, or carefully cross the Inangahua River at the marked ford and walk back to the bridge along the highway.
11 km east of Reefton on the Lewis Pass highway (SH7).
The route between Golden Lead Battery and Progress Water Race following Deep Creek is no longer maintained and the swing bridge has been removed.
