Description

This is a nice walk through an impressive stand of native trees. From the small grassy carpark with picnic tables, the walk descends about 20 metres and does a circuit through the trees. The track feels unkept and is overgrown in places. It can also be wet and boggy in patches after rain. There is a map at the start of the walk. You can do a circuit, or exit back on to Ngapaeruru Rd about 500 metres from the carpark.
