Features River/Creek · Views

Kauri trees grow along these trails. Please use the gear cleaning stations at the start and end of your hike to prevent the spread of Kauri dieback.

Description

From the Ridge Road Track, Simla Track starts along a forested ridge. At just over half a mile, hikers will be treated to several views of the Anawhata Valley right before the track descends to Smyth Stream at the old kauri dam site. This descent is very steep and can be quite muddy after a recent rain so use caution.

Flora & Fauna

Lowland podocarp and broadleaf forest interspersed with the magnificent kauri.
