Devilskin Saddle Route
- Location
Lake Sumner Forest Park lies 100 km northwest of Christchurch between the Lewis Pass and Arthur’s Pass National Park.
This track starts on State Highway 7, opposite the NZDA Palmer Lodge (see above photo), approximately five kilometres north of the Boyle Village.
Car parking is available at the Boyle entrance with Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre offering secure parking and a drop off service for a small fee. You can book this service by phoning +64 3 315 7082.
- Description
The trip can be completed in either direction but starting from the Nina River is preferable. It is recommended to stay the night at Nina Hut and complete the tramp in a long second day.
Those wanting an easier option could walk up to Nina Hut, stay the night and return the same way the next day.
