The track turns off from a junction half way round the Opouahi Walkway, at the far end of the lake. It heads uphill, crossing farmland before entering Thomas Bush and continues climbing up the top. It then loops around and drops down, rejoining the track before you leave Thomas Bush.

Continue back down through the farmland to the junction where you started. From there, return via the Opouahi Walkway.

It is one way however you return to the starting point. The time given includes the Opouahi Walkway sections.

Start the walk from Opouahi Walkway. 

Opouahi Scenic Reserve is located on Pohokura Road between Tūtira and Boundary Stream.
