From Reefton, travel south on SH7 for ca 10 km. Walk starts at the end of the small gravel track, on the right, beside the river. DoC permit required; contact Greymouth DoC office. |
Description |
A rewarding walk, which starts easily with a footbridge across the Inangahua River, then a good track beside the old water race, to reach the confluence with Deep Creek. Beyond there, the track is unmaintained and is likely to be overgrown, so care is needed. For the adventurous tramper (and friend), however, another 3 hours or so of climbing over spurs and bluffs will bring you to the Golden Lead Battery. Whether it was worth the effort, you'll know by then. |
