Te Henga Walkway
- Location
- From Bethells Beach (Te Henga), the track is sign-posted near a bridge 1km before the end of Bethells Rd opposite Lake Wainamu carpark. The northern entrance is from Constable Rd, off Oaia Rd, 10km down the Muriwai Beach turnoff from Waimauku, SH16.
- Description
From Bethells Rd the Te Henga Walkway crosses the Waitakere River by footbridge, rising along a graded section, to superb views of lagoons, dunes and the west coast surf down to O’Neill Bay, where you can return along Bethells Beach. To continue along Te Henga Walkway, the track climbs steeply then follows along the cliff-top where you may see gannets diving for fish. The track exits, through a farm valley and another steep climb, to Constable Rd. Care is needed on this track, which traverses coastal cliffs and is uneven and muddy in places (an upgrade is planned).
Bethells Rd to Constable Rd 8 km or 3-4 hr one way Bethells Rd to O’Neill’s Bay 2km or 45 min one way
