From Butcher Flat camp site, follow the Wakamarina Track on a well benched track to Devils Creek Hut. The track starts out as a 4WD track & sidles along the 100m contour. Cross Doom Creek via the bridge & beyond the site of the former Doom Creek Hut, the track gradually climbs to the 280m contour. It crosses three un-named side creeks, & shortly before Devils Creek Hut, the track drops 80m to cross the last of these un-named side creeks. Beyond this creek the track climbs 40m to the hut.
