If you like your walks short and sweet, you’ll love this one!

Near the entrance to the reserve there are two picnic tables where you can sit and watch waterfowl at play in a nearby pond.

Beyond a gate, across a grassy field, the track leads you into the bush where you follow a small stream through regenerating forest dominated by rewarewa and mamaku tree ferns.

After crossing the stream, the track doubles back then climbs to a pleasant open area that returns you to where you started from.
