Tutaenui Reservoir

Enter through the gate and take the trail to the left through the Archway. Follow the main well-formed trail for 1.5km and about that distance keep an eye out for a 4WD track off to the left.

Head up this trail as it climbs, eventually after about 400m you will come in sight of a gate with a road beyond. As it comes into sight, look right and you will see a MTB trail. Hop onto that and follow it as it winds its way back down the hill and then along above the main trail until around the 3.5km mark where the trails merge briefly.

Where they merge head right back onto the walking trail and head through a delightful patch of bush and the over a bridge and over the causeway between the two reservoirs. At the other side follow the main trail to the right all the way to the next causeway at the top of the dam. Head to the end of the causeway and then back, from there you can see down to the end of the trail.

Head down the hill to your car.
