Canyon Creek Bivouac

The place

Basic two-bunk DOC bivouac at 872 m in the Rangitata and Rakaia rivers area (Mid and South Canterbury). Free access, no charge. No track marked by DOC: independent navigation with map, compass, or GPS required. River-crossing skills required: never cross a river in flood or where entry and exit points are uncertain — "if in doubt, stay out." Map BW19, NZTM2000 E1450163, N5225560.
