About this place
A short walk through native forest full of culture and spiritual significance.
The route
This track is at the base of Maukaatua. It offers a chance to take in the sound of birdsong and be in a culturally and spiritually important place. Winding from the carpark, the track ascends for a short distance then settles to a gentler up and down until you reach Lee Creek. Enjoy the variety of trees and boulders to explore, before wandering your way back to the reserve, an ideal spot for a picnic. The walk finishes at Lee Creek. Past this point the track transitions to a tramping track and is suitable for experienced and prepared walkers. From Lee Creek, the Maukaatua Track is a steep climb to open tussock tops.
