Shepherds Hut Creek

4WD track in the Otago region

Shepherds Hut Creek is a short Otago hill track climbing to the historic Mount Ida Water Race, a handy little detour if you're passing through.

A short climb up the side of the hills takes you to the Mount Ida Water Race, the old water channel that still contours around the slopes here. It's not a long one, but it gets you up off the flats for a look over the surrounding country.

Shepherds Hut Creek makes a cool little detour if you're passing through and have a bit of time to spare. Worth pulling in for a poke around before heading on your way.
