Set in the Glenhope Scenic Reserve, this one runs through native bush and follows a creek with a bit of gold-mining history behind it. You can try your hand at fossicking in the old goldfields, just stick to the rules that apply within the reserve.

The route is a gravel road winding through the bush. It's generally accessible, though DOC recommend a 4WD in wet weather, since the surface gets slippery and a fair bit more challenging once it's damp.

A quiet, scenic spot if you fancy mixing a bit of backcountry exploration with some old-fashioned gold panning. Take your time and respect the reserve.
