Waitakere Tramline Walk
- Location
- The walk begins on Scenic Drive, 7km north of the Piha Road/Scenic Drive intersection, or 1.5km past Mountain Road, at the large carpark on the left.
- Description
After reaching the dam via the Waitakere Dam Walk, this track begins at the base of the dam and follows the tram and pipeline to the West Tunnel Track, which in turn joins the Anderson Track leading back to Scenic Drive. It is a 15 min walk back to the carpark. The tramline track follows a ledge with views across the Waitakere valley. The short tramline tunnel is an added attraction.(no torch necessary).
At Picnic Flats station there is a shelter, with a small grass clearing and picnic table.
