Part of the Te Araraoa, this track follows the true right of the Mararoa River from a swingbridge at the outlet of South Mavora Lake to the swingbridge at the start of the kiwiburn hut track. This is mainly a flat forest track with some small ups & downs, streams, muddy sections, roots and fallen trees - all of which are easy to navigate. This trail could be nicely combined with the South Mavora Lake Trail as a longer point to point or out and back.

Beautiful beech forest track, Mararoa river, swing bridges.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.

Lots of parking at the Kiwiburn carpark but limited at the south Mavora Lake swingbridge.
