   Awesome single track through beautiful native forest. Massive kudos to those that made it. Heaps and heaps of switchbacks. Quite technical and not for the faint hearted! Awesome views once you emerge from the trail towards the top. If you enjoy a challenge going uphill almost as much as downhill this is a great choice.

   Absolutely amazing hiking trail - we took a taxi from the city centre and got dropped off here to hike to Nicols falls. It was about a 15-20 minute hike, just make sure you take the left at the waterfall sign 300m into the track. Track was a little tricky and slippery even on a nice day - wouldn’t want to do the hike if it was raining as that would make it much more difficult. 10/10 recommend very peaceful and serene spot.

   Good for walking with a dog. We went late in the day and only ran into one mountain biker with their dog. There were no dramas. It’s beautiful in the bush and a very good walk, we covered a lot of kms along the switchback. Will go back for more.

   Nicols Falls is a real gem hidden at the end of this Track.This is probably the most beautiful waterfall in Dunedin. The track is slippery. it is more slippery and also danger If walking along the river instead the track.

   We found this waterfall on the website but the signs and descriptions are not clear at all. We have hiked on the MTB track mistakenly for an hour before we found the right way. Please ensure you entered at the gate if you are looking for the waterfall. Then you will see two paths in a minute, no signs at this point. I'd read the comments below and it seems the left one's head to the waterfall. Unfortunately, the path started muddy and the sun was going down so we gave up. Good luck to all of you.

   It is a shared track for cyclists and hikers. Has all the elements of a lush green forest hike. We hiked about 90 minutes and descended as it started drizzling. At places, the trail was slippery due to the previous day rain. With a variety of flora, especially the ferns, the trail is enjoyable.

   I love this new found track. I've been here twice already. It's actually an MTB track but can be running trail too. It's quite muddy if you go there a day after the rain. The track is 6k up at the junction and you can continue to swampy ridge or back down. You can see the Dunedin City at junction point as well as the Mount Cargill.
