Route/Trail notes
Follow the Watersmeet Nature Walk to Watersmeet where the Cuvier and Hugel Rivers meet. Turn left and follow the signposted track to Shadow Lake. The track winds through rainforest and across a bridge over the Hugel River. At Shadow Lake take the Hugel Track past Forgotten Lake (from the lake the track is sometimes wet and muddy). The track turns uphill through a forest of pandani, myrtle, deciduous beech and snow gums. The last section of the track is steep, up across a cairned route on boulders and scree to the summit
