The Hauraki Rail Trail is one of the Great Rides of the New Zealand Cycle Trail system, using an abandoned railway system in the Hauraki Gulf plains and the Coromandel Peninsula. It runs from Thames, New Zealand south via Paeroa to then branch either east towards Waihi (via the Karangahake Gorge) or south to Te Aroha.

The trail was opened in 2012, and at the end of 2012 was approximately 95% complete (according to New Zealand Cycle Trail's official website).

The new wooden bridges on the rail trail received the "Sustainability Award" in the Timber Design Awards in 2012.[1]
