Time: 2 hr
Distance: 4.4 km
Tangoio Walkway can be accessed from the picnic / parking areas at either the southern end of Tangoio Falls Scenic Reserve or opposite White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve.
If starting at the White Pine car park, care needs to be taken when crossing SH 2 to the start of the track.
The walkway passes through native forest, open grassland and old and new pine plantations intermixed with redwoods and other species - look out for native orchid flowers in early summer. The track is steep in places and a stream crossing requires care after rain.
Walking the track from north to south is recommended as the going is nearly all downhill.
