Aorere Goldfields Track is a 3-hour loop walk in the Aorere Goldfields Conservation Area, near Collingwood in Golden Bay, Nelson-Tasman. It passes old gold-mining remnants, including a 1880s ground-sluicing claim, Druggan's Dam and Stafford's and Ballroom caves. Early miners carved their names on some cave formations, and the website asks visitors to take care not to disturb them.
The track is a shared-use route for walkers and mountain bikers, and the 4WD road is used by bikers. Dogs are not allowed, and other pets follow conservation land rules. Boots and a reasonable level of fitness are recommended, and there is little shade, so sun protection is needed. The loop takes three to four hours by bike or on foot. Reach the car park by following the Aorere Valley inland from Collingwood, turning off at Rockville and driving about two kilometres past Devil's Boots on a rough farm track.
