Pohuehue: Waterfall Track and Pohuehue Falls

For Pohuehue, the Waterfall Track offers a specific nature experience: it follows Pohuehue Stream, while a side track leads to Pohuehue Falls and a lookout. The falls are also part of the Moirs Hill Walkway. The stream, waterfalls, and lookout above the falls give your trip planning tangible points of reference. At the same time, the different track names help distinguish the access route, destination, and connection to the walkway.

The track to Pohuehue Falls

An easy, well-signposted track through regenerating native bush leads to Pohuehue Falls in 20–30 minutes. This gives you several practical details for planning your day: the track is easy, well marked, and takes 20–30 minutes. The time estimate is a guide for this route, not for a full outing. If you’re planning a family trip, you can compare it with your other plans for the day and decide how you’d like to fit in a visit to the waterfall. Check current track conditions before your visit.

Waterfall and lookout

The side track leads both to Pohuehue Falls and to a lookout above the waterfalls. This identifies not only the track’s destination but also the lookout’s location. You can plan your visit around the waterfall and the elevated lookout. The Waterfall Track follows Pohuehue Stream; the side track leads to the two destinations mentioned.

Waterfall Track and Moirs Hill Walkway

The names answer different questions about where to go. The Waterfall Track follows Pohuehue Stream, and a side track leads from there to the falls. Pohuehue Falls are part of the Moirs Hill Walkway. If you’re looking for the track along the stream, Waterfall Track is the name to use; if you want to understand which walkway the falls belong to, Moirs Hill Walkway is the useful reference. This helps you distinguish the route, side track, and walkway when planning.

Finding the trailhead

The entrance to the Waterfall Track is signposted on the west side of Old SH 1, also known as the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, just north of the Pohuehue Viaduct between Waiwera and Warkworth. The side of the road and the location north of the viaduct are specific points of reference for finding your way. If you’re including the trailhead in your day’s plans, take this location into account and check current track conditions beforehand. This lets you consider how to reach the access point separately from planning the rest of your walk.
