This trail is only open on the south
side, from Ocean View Rd to access the Trig Trail, as the main carpark at the
dam is closed due to damage following the
heavy rain event on the 30th May 2023.
Please note there is very limited parking on Ocean View Rd so plan ahead if you
are driving to walk the trail.
We aim to complete all repairs over the winter months in time for summer.
Getting there
Drive up Pacific Road, go left at the top, park the car in the water reservoir car park. The start of the Water Reservoir Loop is on the right of the reservoir.
About the walk
20 minutes
The Loop walk goes around the old Waihī Beach
reservoir. This track is mostly flat, with a few
inclines. If you're feeling a little more adventurous and have more time, try the Trig Trail or the Forest Loop Trail which branch off from the Dam Trail (Reservoir Loop).
