Isthmus Peak Track

This is a very solid climb. It will be a rare person who would have any hope of riding up this hill - expect to be taking your bike for a walk. Alternatively this track makes a great walk without the bike These tracks are annually closed for fawning between 20 November and 20 December. From the carpark follow the poled route on the true right of Stewart Creek until it reaches a 4WD track. From here a steep and rocky climb winds up to a skyline ridge. On the ridge, follow the signs to either 1385 m Isthmus Peak (to the right) or Matatiaho Conservation Area (to the left). There is no public access beyond the conservation area. Return to the Stewart Creek carpark by the same route. Check your brake pads are in good condition before this ride. There is a safari hunting operation on this station, give way to game animals, especially during the March to May roar.
