Adventure Details
A 4wd track up the Makaroro River, from the historic mill site at the end of Wakarara Rd up the riverbed to Barlow Hut. The brave can venture a bit further upstream, I found the 4wd tracks ran out about 1km past Barlow Hut.
Barlow Hut is a tidy 8-bunk DOC hut that is a great spot to for an overnight stay.
As this track follows the braided riverbed, there are multiple water crossings, though most are small as the catchment above is relatively small.
Check the river flow on HBRC website for Makaroro Rover at Burnt Bridge.
