Walk from the car park at Clevedon Scenic Reserve, past the buildings and over the swingbridge, to the track entrances. The Totara Track is to the left. As a walk, it is not as attractive as the Puriri Track, but it does have access to one of the better-accessible sections of the kauri forest in Auckland. The largest trees are well over 150 years old, with several in the early stages of crowning. Many youngsters surround them. Overall, it is one of the larger groups of accessible kauri in the region.
This section of the track only takes a few minutes from the start and is therefore easy to do as a quick there and back to see kauri trees. Allow about 30 minutes to continue on to the viewpoint, then return via the Puriri Track.
