Remaining on the TL, the track heads downstream although leaving the river 30m below. Just before the gate that accesses the parking area and trailhead is a track junction (the swing bridge that can be seen through the trees leads to the Lake Rere loop track).

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

A good benched track heads up the true left (north/west) of the Greenstone from the carpark to the Greenstone/Caples confluence. Ensure you take the right hand track at the gate 500m from the carpark and do not cross the swingbridge here.
