The Moraine Creek rapid is a 500m long class IV boulder garden at the end of the Gunn's Camp run. It drops 20m through this length and is fun if you want to add some more excitement to your Milford journeys.

To get to the rapid; from the Milford road turn off to the Hollyford Valley. Drive about 15km of gravel road to the rapid, visible from the road.
