return A quiet picnic spot , this small reserve is located on Ainsworth
Road, off State Highway 2, just north of Te Puna. A feature of the
reserve is the small pond frequented by a variety of waterfowl. Beyond
a gate, a grassy accessway leads to a short bush walk. This track meanders
along beside a small stream through regenerating coastal forest dominated
by rewarewa and mamaku tree ferns. After crossing the stream, the track
doubles back then climbs to a pleasant open area that leads back to the
starting point.
