Itinerary description
Good leg stretch. Track is part of the route into Managhao flats hut it skirts the edge of Mangahao (upper) reservoir before it turns back into the Managhao River. The water is clean, clear and emerald green with plenty of deep swimming holes. A few good stands of mature trees with an especially great stand of Rimu about half way along. Very muddy, even by Tararua standards. The swing bridge that crosses the Managhao River (second along, near my turn around point ) is having a flash new one built over the top of the old so still able to cross while new bridge is being built.
