t218 Waihaha Track_Waihaha Track Lagoon

WAIHAHA HUT
The track follows the Waihaha River through shrubland before entering dense podocarp forest then to the Waihaha Hut. It covers a variety of terrain, high cliffs, very scenic valley, luxurious vegetation, and a good view of the river gorge and circular pools scoured in limestone.

Waihaha Hut

a very pleasant spot and is relatively new replacing the former hut which was burned to the ground


Waihora Lagoon Walk
The lagoon, a 10 minute walk from the car park, is one of the most beautiful spots in the park, surrounded by tall rimu and kahikatea.


The walk to the lagoon is very well graded and you are quickly surrounded by amazing mature native forest.

湖水已淹沒了boardwalk


極為動人的倒影

小魚還悠游在我的腳邊


There are some very delicate plant species reside in the waters.
