★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 ways to do the Sawpit Gully track -
if you go in a clockwise loop, you start at the scenic part. Go along the small stream and it’s a pleasant walk till you reach the bridge (take the right fork) and then it’s uphill (with shelter from trees most of the time) all the way till the hilltop where u can get a nice view of Lake Hayes. Afterwards the track slopes down and narrows on a more exposed path , back to arrowtown.
If you go anticlockwise, you start on a shaded path along a water pipe basically going uphill, passing a small waterfall with the uphill stretch pretty rocky at some parts and on exposed terrain with no shade, before reaching the hilltop and enjoying the scenic path till the end.
At the hilltop u can choose to hike all the way up an offshoot path leading up to the top of another hill.
Supposedly a 3 hr loop but I did it in 2hr15min for the clockwise route, it was a pleasant walk with no mosquitoes or sandflies.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty good. A few stream crossings on the track, plus the way down is easy. Good views of mountains as well, but the uphill near the top is a little tiring. Good walk.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took us 2 and a half hours, which was impressive considering our attire and the track being muddy. Be prepared for multiple river crossings and being steep in parts.
