This quiet and peaceful spot is just five minutes drive from central Levin.
The area has picnic tables, a meandering stream and a number of native bush walks suitable for all ages.
The remnant native podocarp forest has some large old Rimu trees. This land was proclaimed as a scenic reserve in 1913-15 after previously being set aside as a waterworks reserve. In earlier times, this land was a refuge for the Muaupoko tribe with the Koputaroa stream providing water and an abundance of eels and kakahi shellfish.
Warning: There is ongoing pest control work being conducted in parts of this reserve. Please keep children in direct sight. Dogs are not permitted in this reserve.
