About this place
A very pleasant forested walking track that follows the Taieri River round to the confluence of Lee Stream with the river.
The route
Outram Glen is a popular picnic and swimming area. The track is made up of an easy walking track and then a more difficult tramping track. The easy walking track begins at the Outram Glen picnic area off Outram Mosgiel Road. After 20 – 30min the walking track transitions into a tramping track. At this point, a short track provides access to the water, while the tramping track leads to a long traverse above the Taieri River. After about 1 hour the track returns to the river and soon reaches the confluence of Lee Stream/Taieri River junction. There are numerous swimming options.
