This is an easy rolling family style loop around a big swamp. The swamp was created by lava flowing from the domes within the park hundreds of years ago. The lava cut off the ends of these valleys so they became swamps. This track is 2-way, so please be courteous to other users. Built by Lloyd Jenks & Rohan Alton of Southstar Trails for Focus Paihia Dec 2015.

Trail name origin: Kahotea Loop (Kah – hor – teh – ah) – Kahotea – White Plume Plant
An original place name. Kahotea is an abbreviation of Kakaho meaning long plant stalk and tea meaning white plume. Therefore, if you ever find yourself surrounded by a grassy plant that has a fluffy white plume on the top of a 2 metre long stalk, you are most likely to be in a place called, Kahotea.
