Another road behind Lake Rotoma. The West end of the road is mostly flat and smooth and coated with pine needles, the East end however is the interesting half as it is a steady slope with significant water ruts running both along and across the track.
At some points the road gets quite narrow with grass growing up the center.
Thanks to @adscott8 for bringing Hamilton Road to our attention so we could go out and track it.
Thought it was about time to ditch the trailwings on the DR. I fitted a set of 804 & 805’s and so a ride was required…
Had a great few hours heading south down Rotoehu Rd, then left onto Pongakawa Valley Rd, then onto Hamilton Rd and left onto Manawahe rd to check out the 4wd track going down to the beach on lake Rotoma, though that got steep, rutted and slippery so chickened out being on my own and a newbie…
Return trip saw me heading west along Rotoehu Rd then right onto Maniatutu Rd. A good mix of gravel, twisty sealed and scenic.
Cheers for the above post Re – Hamilton Rd
Did a fair bit of this the other week. Great wee ride not far from home. The lake track is a bit rutted and intimidating looking but is manageable on a 250cc on road tyres.
I think I need to do a day trip over Rotorua way soon to do this and Porters Road and other random tracks over that way.

I was up Hamilton Road a few days ago and there’s some decent ruts on the main up/down hill section.
Have you been down the track half way down? It looks pretty sketch to do by yourself
