Public access

“Hutt River at Birchville”  Flow Gauge readings  A good level is for the ‘stage’ to be between 1000m and 1500m

See the Information on http://rivers.org.nz/nz/wellington/hutt/hutt-gorge but note that the flow range here is in relation to the Te Marua gauge, which is upstream of the Birchville gauge.

I haven’t been down it yet, so refer to a full route description in;
