This interesting and historical walk is on the upper reaches of the Waihou River, near Putaruru. Water in this section of the Waihou Stream is totally spring fed. It originally comes from the Mamaku Plateau and takes anywhere between 50-100 years to reach the Blue Spring. This water is blue because it is of high optical purity. Our walk is about 10 kms in length and takes 3 hours. While we are in the area we will also do a one-hour walk at Jim Barnett Reserve, west of Putaruru. This Reserve is managed by a combination of groups including Forest and Bird. The large totara and rimu are remnants of the original Waiotu Bush.
