Mid Pohangina Hut Track
- Location
- From Ashhurst head north up the Pohangina Valley and turn onto the Pohangina Valley East Road. Continue up the valley for some distance past the DOC Pohangina Field Base. A sign by a farm gate on the side of the road indicates the start of the track.
- Description
- From the parking spot, follow the markers across the paddocks and down a steep farm track to descend into the Pohangina River. Walk along the river flats upstream a short distance before reaching the Ruahine Forest Park boundary. The turn off to Centre Creek Track which leads to Takapari Road is reached after approximately one hours walk. A well marked sidle track starts past here passing high above the river and dropping in and out of several sidestreams. A long swingbridge crosses the Pohangina River 20 min before reaching Mid Pohangina Hut which is situated on a clearing down by the river.
