“In the late 1860s miners began fossicking for gold in the Fenian, and cut a bridle track into the workings. Today we can enjoy a series of easy-access, easy-grade walking tracks into this area, through mixed beech/podocarp forest.”
Fenian Caves Loop (1 hr 1.5km or 3hrs return from carpark 5 kms): The Fenian Caves consist of three “open access” caves. A torch or headlight, and sturdy footwear, is essential. A helmet is recommended. Two of the caves are located beside the track, Miners Cave and Cavern Creek Cave. The loop track passes through Tunnel Cave, which is rough underfoot for some 80m. A reasonable level of fitness is required. Track best walked in a clockwise direction.
For more track information see the Karamea information website.
