Notes
A swing bridge no longer exists upstream across Rapid Creek. This place has been recommended as a ford though. An overgrown track leads to the crossing from upstream on the true left of the Hokitika but it's rough, though followable. There's no track downstream of the crossing but it's easy to just thread a route through the vegetation to the Hokitika River. Edit Hut
