About this place
This track follows the Manganuku Stream to the Manganuku Hut.
The route
From the Historic Howe Truss Bridge take the gentle benched track that runs beside the true right of the Manganuku Stream. After about an hour you will get to a directional sign, from here head down to the river to a good swimming hole in the Manganuku Stream. From here you can continue walking upstream in the river for 2 hours approx and you will arrive at the Manganuku Hut. The river exit to the hut is marked with a large orange track marker. There are some deep stream crossings if river levels are high so check before you leave.
