★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome wee spot for a quick walk, or you can camp. The waikato river trail runs through here, so it's a great place for a break.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice area for tramp through wood. Easy paths can be slippery in places. Nice range of trees. Well worth a visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautifully looked after Reserve. Overnight camping is welcome in a nice flat grassy area readily accessible from the carpark. Numerous mangeable short walks follow an old tramline. Walks are suitable for younger members of the family.
Go and hunt for the 1000 year old Totara tree past the large Pinus Radiata which has been felled in the Reserve and the trunk has been left in situ.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was a surprisingly well maintained spot - picnic tables, tap water, toilet and a shelter shed for picnicers. The track trees were amazingly well labelled - great idea. Mountain bike trail as well. Lots of Tuis and pigeons. Quite a lot of bird calls in the bush.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small reserve where you can also camp. It has running water, a shelter, toilets, huge picnic table and ample seating. It's like a wee oasis plonked out in the middle of a farming area. The native trees are predominantly young with a few mature ones peppered throughout. The canopy is home to various birdlife which you can get to see and hear at times. The tracks are all well signposted and either intersect or join up to each other. The great thing is; they can all be completed in one go. The Waikato River Trails cyclists also utilise this beautiful reserve before meandering onto either Waipapa or Arapuni in the other direction. So be aware it is a shared track. Definitely worth turning off the beaten track to see this wee pocket of nature. Hats off the the people that tend to this reserve.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful little reserve. Would be nice to go camping there over a weekend with your family. Can cycle only short routes inside reserve but it forms part of Waikato River Trail so possible to do more riding on the trail.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly recommend! Great walking tracks with birdsong. We've been followed trough the reserve by many many fantails. Camping available to and enjoyed a night's stay. Peaceful and quiet. Good to take kids along too!
