An interesting walk for children, this well-graded track takes in several significant sites around the lower Waiorongomai goldfields.

From the car park, go up the stairs to the left of the concrete ruins and then follow the signposted Low-Level Loop to the right. The track winds up the valley through regenerating bush across a few small streams and passes a small tunnel and a pipeline.

After about an hour, the loop turns back south at the signposted junction and joins the Piako County Tramway at the base of Butlers Incline. The rail is still in place, which gives a sense of how the tramway worked.
