Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

At the Rangitane Reserve sign next to the road is a few spaces for parking. Just behind the sing a cut and marked track starts. This is well marked by a combination of regular DOC triangle markers, large DOC triangle markers, and orange ribbon. This track is steep, and loose underfoot in sections. Make your way down following the markers, until you reach the river. Expect 30 minutes of travel.

A small clearing about 20m above the river offers a possible campsite.
