To reach Summit campsite / picnic area (and former station) it's an easy 1km walk up the railtrail from the confluence of the Pakuratahi with the small stream draining from Summit.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

A short 1km walk down the graveled roadbed railtrail from the former summit station (now picnic area and campsite) to the Pakuratahi confluence. Access to the river involves a scramble down a steep bank 100m upstream from the confluence, just downhill from the last cutting before the corner shown.
