Henderson Creek
 Follow
the path and reflect on history. Henderson Creek was once a
hive of activity for traders, vintners, farmers, orchardists
and families. Now it's quiet - a place for recreation and
reflection.
Historic highlights along the way include the arch, in Swan
Arch Park, was built by the recluse, Henry Swan in 1909.
Further upstream is the Tui Glen Motor Camp - which is New
Zealand's earliest motor camp, and remains of dams and
mills, a legacy of Henderson's timber milling industry.
Check out the international Walkway of Trees sourced from
all over the world. To cool off after your walk take a dip
at the West Wave Aquatic Centre or enjoy the view of the
Henderson Creek from the historic Falls Hotel Cafe. Just
behind the hotel is the band rotunda - focus of the annual
jazz festival and the city's new artist-designed bridge,
referred to as
McLeod's crossing.
Henderson Creek is also a good spot to safely test your
kayaking skills with ducks as witness.
Henderson
Creek is also part of
Project Twin Streams.
