This short access easement leads down to the Ahuriri River as you make your way up the valley in Canterbury's high country. It exists purely to provide a legal route to the riverbank, so don't expect a long adventure here.

The surrounding landscape is classic Ahuriri country: open valley floor, braided river flats and mountain views typical of this part of the South Island. Use it as a handy point to reach the water before continuing further up the valley.

Keep in mind this is an easement across what may be private or managed land, so stick to the route, leave gates as you find them, and tread lightly to keep access open for everyone who follows.
