This trail takes you down to the picturesque Raparapahoe Stream, running through a narrow, densely-bushed gorge.  The descent from the road and the climb back up are very steep in places, so only those who are fit and agile should attempt this walk.

To get to the starting point, drive up No. 3 Road and turn into No. 4 Road. Cross the bridge, turn immediately left and drive for 2.4 kilometres where there is a sign-posted roadside parking bay.

The track, which was developed in 1987 by the Te Puke Lions Club, drops steeply through mature tawa forest.  When it reaches the bottom of the gorge it continues upstream to a large pool at the base of a 3-metre waterfall - perfect for a refreshing dip on a hot summer’s day before tackling the climb back up to the road.
