Even in the rain this is my favourite easy track. Amazingly sheltered and hardly even got wet with the canopy above
3. Korokoro Dam

Reviewed By 490juliaw - Lower Hutt, New Zealand
I met a friend and we did the one hour loop track,. We met at the Oakleigh Street entrance at Maungaraki. It had a large carpark and a large display board showing all the tracks. We chose the easy Korokoro Dam loop track, it was a gentle walk down to the waterfalls and we hung out at that area for a while. We heard tuis and warblers and there were ducks and teenage ducklings on the water at the dam. It took us 45 minutes including a few stops on the way looking at the trees.
