Description
The Kaipawa Trig Track takes you
through regenerating forest
The track connects Kennedy Bay Road and Whangapoua Road. It takes you through regenerating native bush to a trig situated halfway between the two roads. Discover spectacular views over Coromandel coastline and Hauraki Gulf.
Getting there
Access the track from Kennedy Bay Road summit (opposite Tokatea Lookout) up a steep track past a relay station, or from Whangapoua Road (SH25) via an old benched mining road and vehicle track.
