The track leads up to the trig branches off Elvy Waterfalls Track. One approach passes through mature and regenerating beech forest on a dry ridge. The other shorter approach climbs through lush podocarp/broadleaf forest.

The reserve is located midway between Blenheim and Nelson on SH6, 18 km west of Havelock.

Always carry warm, waterproof clothes, especially on longer walks.

Take care when the tracks are wet or the river flooded.
