The early part of the trail runs alongside a small stream, after extremely heavy rain it is probably one to be avoided.

Description
This is a very straightforward trail with no off-shoots. Follow the trail, gradually climbing along the stream for about 1.5km, at the trail split you can go left or right as the section loops back to here.
This is beautiful native bush running, often on a base of lovely moss.

Features of interest
Amazing moss ('carpet') on the early sections of the trail. many large Kotukutuku (tree Fuchsia), the largest Fuchsia in the world and one of very few native deciduous trees. Consequently there are bellbirds and stitchbirds around, although you will only hear them and rarely see them.
