General information
This block takes in the catchments of the Ore and Leven Streams, which flow parallel to and between the Blue and Young Rivers. The two valleys are steep sided but have extensive river flats and remnants (no longer maintained) of marked routes.
This block is balloted for the ROAR period during the months of March and April.
Access
Access is from the Blue Pools car park on the Haast Highway (SH6), 9 km northwest of Makarora township. From here the Blue-Young Link Track crosses the Makarora and Blue Rivers, and then reaches the Ore and Leven streams after about an hour.
