This shared use track crosses the Hobart Rivulet to connect Rivulet Fire Trail to Middle Island Fire Trail. Twisting singletrack, it winds its way down into the mossy gully where a rock ford provides access across the rivulet.

Note that the ford is subject to flooding and may be impassable after heavy rainfall events. There are steep edges to be aware of when descending towards the rivulet.

      Neat track with a freshwater crossing, where you can drink the running water (at your own risk)
