About Lindemann Loop Track
This walk begins at the end of Lindemann Road and can be enjoyed in either direction. Pass through a closed gate and kauri hygiene station, then reach a junction about 40 meters in. From here, you have two options: Left: A steep, one-hour climb up a ridge to reach the forested heights. Right: The gently ascending Lindemann Pack Track, a scenic route offering views, streams, diverse vegetation, and remnants of old kauri dams. For an easier route, take the right-hand track, which initially climbs a short spur before leveling out. About 3 hours and 30 minutes in, a junction to the Cashmore Clearing Track leads to a kauri dam site, where only the bed log remains. Another 25 minutes brings you to a small shelter and campsite. Return via the main track to Lindemann Road carpark, enjoying excellent views of Tauranga and nearby offshore islands from the ridge.
