From the track junction 100m west of Puketaramea, follow the marked track ESE along the ridgeline, initially the track drops sharply, then climbs east over pt1293. The track swings south again before descending rapidly passing near a slip edge to until it meets the river south of Maropea Forks Hut. The hut is on the opposite bank - ankle-knee deep and an easy crossing in normal flows. Large catchment - could flood
