Getting there: The reserve is off SH1, 8kms east of Rata (Rangitikei) on Putorino Road

Tracks: There are three walking tracks within the reserve, varying in length from 20 minutes to 1 hour. Just inside the inner gate a sign has been erected indicating the track network in the reserve. By combining the different walks a walking time of 1.5-2 hours is possible.

The locals: Pukeko, grey warbler, North Island fantail, shining cuckoo, paradise shelduck.

Throughout the reserve there is a range of vegetation from kahikatea-matai forest to grasslands and flax. Kauri and beech trees can also been found in this area growing well beyond their naturally occurring range. A choir of birds keep this reserve set to the sound of continuous birdsong throughout the day.
