Korokoro Dam Waterfall located at Wattle Grove, Maungaraki in Lower Hutt, is very easy, accessible and very much impressive. The waterfall is most likely a handmade one or at very least has been significantly improved by dam builders some years ago.
There is a huge carpark at the park, no facilities available here. From the carpark follow Korokoro Dam Loop track, you can walk in either direction. Going clockwise, the first part of the track will be a gentle descend. About 30 minutes after you start the track, you'll see a sign, Cornish Street and most likely you'll hear the waterfall. Turn left here and follow the track for 5 minutes. You won't miss the waterfall.
Reviews
Just half an hour out of Wellington is hands down the most impressive waterfall in the area! A half an hour, moderate intensity hike will get you there, but the views are worth every minute. The waterfall itself has been altered by the dam construction, making it appear more man-made, but that doesn't detract from it's stunning beauty!
