About this place
The track winds up through forest to reach a waterfall on Carew Creek. Enjoy the view from sitting on immense water-shaped granite boulders.
The route
The track starts on Kumara-Inchboooie Road, about 300 m east of Lake Brunner Lodge. A good track winds up through forest to reach a waterfall on Carew Creek, which descends from Castle Hill, one of the Hohonu Peaks. Immense water-shaped granite boulders make perfect spots for sitting and enjoying a view out over the western end of Lake Brunner from a height of more than 100 m. Old pipes seen along the track are from a small hydro scheme that once provided power for the Mitchells Hotel (now Lake Brunner Lodge).
