The entrance is right next to a concrete bridge on the left hand side from Taupo end and down the big hilll where you overlook the lake Come into Hatepe and you will find pumice road on the left hand side. I have ridden past it many times but as I am now looking for new places I noticed it and also saw the stream when I was going down the big hill into Hatepe.
There is one long road that takes you out to the dam and on your right hand side is a track that goes up the hillside and can get a bike up there also. I will check that track out next visit. I think better views from higher up also.
Sorry your pic didn't come out tooo clear, I am only on Mobile while on hol so it was not clear.

Magic place to visit loved it Many many more roads along the main drag also. Waitahanui has a few roads to check out also. On the list of things to do and places to visit.

Yes, thats it.
Gravel pit just after the bridge southbound.
Power station, dam, inlet and pipework. Good fun driving 4x4 along the pipe, also good on a bike!

I noticed a few push bikers up there and the track was wide also - so plenty of room for smallish m bike
