22 Kitekite falls
<KITEKITE.JPG">Near Piha on Auckland's West CoastThe Kitekite Track leads to the impressive three-tiered Kitekite Falls - the Knutzen Track leads off this (named after the early manager of the Piha Mill) taking a route to the south of the Kitekite Stream to reach the falls. The return route is by the north side. Off this track a steep track can take you to the top of the falls, where there are small cold pools for taking a dip and notches in the rocks where the Glen Esk Dam was located. The first attempt to drive logs down the falls resulted in their destruction on the rocks below and the dam was thereafter only used to flush the logs waiting in the stream below down to the mill. Tracks at the top of the falls lead inland through the ranges to various outlets on the West Coast Road. -
