Walk description:
We are combining the Massey-Cossey-Hunua Falls Tracks to create a rewarding loop walk. The track is metalled, but steep in places and involves wading or rock hoping across Cossey Creek. We will enjoy beautiful views, impressive native forest, sparkling waters, giant trees along the way, and see the popular Hunua Falls from all angles and up front!
