Waihi Beach Trig Walk

This fairly new walk is popular with exercise enthusiasts keen to clock up some steps – take that as a warning. There are quite a few stairs on this track, but the views are worth the panting and puffing. There are two options – a short loop track around the water reservoir, or the longer (3.5km) walk to the top of the hill. Turn left at the top of Pacific Road, off Beach Road; parking is in the water reservoir car park.
