Essential preparation for Grants Knob Track
The eastern end of Croydon Bush Scenic Reserve, accessed from Croydon Bush Road, is locally known as Grants Bush. Tramping tracks in this area are no longer maintained, so caution is advised. This is the most well-formed of the eastern Croydon Bush tracks. It begins from the left-hand side of the clearing at Grants Bush and follows the ridge to fenced farmland. From here, a marked route and short stroll through tussock lead to East Peak. Croydon Bush Scenic Reserve is located approximately 10 km to the north west of Gore.
