Inangahua Suspension Bridge tracks

Location
11 km east of Reefton on the Lewis Pass Highway
Description

Progress Water Race (2 hr return)

A footbridge crosses the Inangahua River to a good track which follows the disused water race, occasionally crossing side gullies via steps, to end at the Deep Creek-Inangahua River confluence. Those walkers who have more time on their hands can continue to the Golden Lead Battery.

Golden Lead Battery (6 hr return)

From the end of the Progress Water Race Walk, a rough track climbs and descends numerous spurs and crosses two bridges to reach Golden Lead battery, standing in a small grassy clearing. In fine weather it is possible to walk in the creek bed, avoiding the steeper sections of the track.
