Despite looking very impressive from the valley floor, there doesnt appear to be anything of interest. I’ve walked up from the bottom. It’s just a gravelly stream for the first bit. We lost interest about 200m into the gorge (it was winter and we were on a MTB trip!) there’s very little overall elevation drop…
Category: 0 Star Canyons
Canyons which might be worth a look if you happen to be in the area and have done everything else nearby.
Waterfall Creek
There is only 1 major waterfall (which is marked) Otherwise, it is just an open stream. Not worth the effort of accessing it! Download research sheet for Waterfall Creek – Maruia
Matata Reserve
The stream has been descended from above the bushline. Only one nice section of canyon, with a large amount of walking. Not really worth repeating. Trip report from Chuckys adventures
