Cobb Valley is 22 kilometres south of Takaka. Just before State Highway 60 goes over the Takaka Hill (if heading south), a roads heads west to Cobb Reservoir. The area became accessible in the 1940's when the reservoir was constructed. Most of the area is controlled by the Department of Conservation as part of the Kahurangi National Park, and there are several walking trails.

It is an interesting geological area, with some of New Zealand's oldest rocks. The valley shows the classic steep sided U shape as formed by glaciers. Serpentine, talc, magnesite, and asbestos has been mined in the valley. There are several Ni prospects. A side tributary called Sam's Creek, holds New Zealand's largest undeveloped gold deposit. A well known fossil site is at the southern end of the reservoir.

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
