Jacob’ Ladder Loop

Valley Track up Jacob’s Ladder and back along Koru

This loop is a beautiful walk along the Brook Stream, but with some effort required, as the walk up the lower section of Jacob’s Ladder is steep. The Koru is an easy downhill track back to the Visitor Centre and being further from the stream it is quieter and better for listening to bird calls.

• See the remains of all five dams that were part of the Nelson water supply.
• Steep track up Jacob’s Ladder which is slippery when wet.
• Koru track provides a quick walk back to the Visitor’s Centre, it is quieter as it is away from the stream.
• Recommended to extend the walk up to the Forks Crossing and back
