The Inland Pack Track was built in 1867 by unemployed gold propectors for around £10,000 as an alternative to the treacherous coastal route which included Perpendicular Point. It follows the Fox River inland, then turns south across Dilemma Creek and Bullock Creek, before crossing the Pororari River (an alternative exit is to follow the river out to Punakaiki and the coast) and emerging south of Dolomite Point. Although it fell into disuse in the 1870s, it is now a popular 2–3 day hiking trail. There is a side track to Cave Creek.
