Beginning at the northern end of Grey River Picnic Area, this loop-trail is ideal for families. A fine example of the diversity of the native bush on the Canterbury Plains, the walk passes through mixed tawhai/podocarp forest, including black beech/tawhai, rimu, kahikatea and matai.
Of particular interest are the oyster shells embedded in a bank 700 metres above sea level, thought to be 10-20 million years old.
The track starts at the Grey River picnic area.
