Description
Labyrinth climbs from the top of Jungle Gym to the top of Spoonhill.
As a purpose designed and built mountain bike track, Labyrinth has a nice flow – especially when descending. The track is quite narrow in places, and although not technically demanding it is more difficult than Jungle Gym.
About 200m from the top of Labyrinth, you'll reach a short road that provides access to a power pylon. This used to be the end of Labyrinth. In mid-2008 the track was extended to reach Spoonhill – just continue along the track into the bush directly opposite.

Getting there
The bottom of the track is at the top of Jungle Gym, 40m up the ECNZ pylon road from the Wainuiomata Road saddle car park.
Alternatively, the top of the track is to the right of the power pylon when entering the top of Spoonhill.
Other notes
Labyrinth is a multi-use track, though cyclists have the right of way.
