This track is part of Te Araroa Trail.
This track starts at the bridge over Pleasant Creek on the Dunrobin Valley Road, just before the boundary of the farm owned by Pleasant Valley Partnership. The marked track generally follows the true right of the Aparima River, passing through red tussock, beech forest, and past wire-rush peat wetlands. A swing bridge over the river is 5 min from Aparima Hut.
