Things to do: Blacks Point Museum, The School of Mines, bargain hunting/antiquing (three second hand shops), angling, gold panning, tramping. Very friendly people. A compact town, everything is within walking distance.
The Reefton Power Station/Scheme is well worth visiting. The old Reefton power scheme (established in 1888) that provided electricity for Reefton's street lighting, is being reinstated. Much of the work has been done, and a 220 kw plant will soon be in operation. The water intake and race are along the Inangahua River, just upstream of Reefton, and can be accessed from Rosstown Road.
