The Department of Conservation page describes a track that climbs steeply through lowland forest to a ridgeline with views, and reaches a campsite with drinking water, a shelter and a toilet at its halfway point. The highest point is Taumata Trig at 572 metres. The track is not a complete loop, so walkers need to walk back along the road to the car park. Dogs are not permitted, and fires are not allowed.
For a day walk or an overnight trip into Whanganui National Park, this track on Whanganui River Road is a route to plan carefully, with water, warm clothing and an emergency device.
