Crown Track – Karangahake

An amble alongside the Ohinemuri River today this track showcases beautiful scenery, good swimming holes and interesting mine relics.  

It passes the remains of the extensive Karangahake Mines, with optional short side trips to view tunnels and the impressive Woodstock Underground Pumphouse. 

Further up the Crown Track follows a pipeline and other relics from the gold mining days. 

A torch is recommended for a 200m tunnel on this track.
