Family walking Latham's Track

Latham's Hill Track

This track begins at the Latham property 17 kilometres south of Whakatāne on State Highway 30. There is a small car park available.

The walk starts with a relatively gentle climb over rolling farmland which leads up to native bush and a trig station. There you can enjoy superb views over the Rangitāiki Plains.

The main track ends at the trig station, we recommend for most walkers, especially with younger families, turning around here and returning to the car park. 

Another route descends from the trig station to the Awakeri Hot Springs complex, this section is steeper and if you're looping back to the car park, means walking along a busy section of State Highway 30.

Difficulty: Medium
Dogs: Allowed on lead
Private farmland, please keep to track.
