Winding gravel through rolling Northland hill country, this one works best as a connector rather than a destination in its own right. It rolls quietly through farmland and bush-clad hills, linking up other roads in the area, which makes it good for stitching together a longer backcountry loop.

The highlight comes at the eastern end, where you arrive at the Twin Bridges, a quirky little spot with a bridge and an intersection sitting right in the middle of it. If you want a route that ties the wider network together, this one does the job.
