Description

Starting at the Tawanui Campsite, follow the grass track from the signpost and head up river. The track is pretty straightforward, some nice single track with very few deviations from it. Where there are deviations, there are signposts pointing the way. Other times, there are triangle markers placed on various trees in case you need them.

The track heads up the river, sticking close mostly, but with a few excursions over smalls hills which take you away from the river for a bit. There are four nice single person swing bridges to head over on your way up the track. After the last swing bridge on the way out, the bush changes to forestry for a while as you near The Wisp area. Here there is a small camping area with table, toilet and a good place to be picked up if you don't fee like the double back. If you want the whole hog, turn back around and head home the way you came (there is also a signposted route up through the forestry roads via Rocky Knoll if you want something different).
