Description
From Dolamore Park carpark, the track crosses Waimumu Stream. Turn left after the bridge onto a well formed gravel track, which climbs gradually though mixed pococarp hardwood forest towards a ridge.
After about 15 minutes, a sign marks a turn off towards a lookout point which provides panoramic views of the Southland Plains and even Bluff Hill and Stewart Island on a clear day.
The return section of the loop track heads downhill from here and meets up with the boardwalk section, which can be followed out to Dolamore Park.
