Aongatete River Run

Start at Aongatete lodge, run the easy DoC track to the Aongatete river. Cross here and head up the hill until you reach the North/South track, turning south. Run this until you again reach the Aongatete River. Here you leave the track and enter the river heading down stream, combination of rocks and small river crossings. At some points you need to jump from small waterfalls into the pools below.

Water is clean and clear to allow good sight of depth. Follow river down stream until you get to a fork where another stream joins.

A small track to the right of this stream allows a safe path around a waterfall.

Follow this upstream for a couple of hundred meters until you see the Orange triangle indication the 'Swimming Hole Track' - take this back to carpark.
