Mt Titi in the Akatrawa Forest offers a variety of challenges for walkers, and there are many good picnic sites on bush fringes and stream edges. Parts of the forest are rugged and isolated, and there are no facilities provided.

From Maungakotukutuku Road cross the stream and follow Perhams Road uphill about 6km to reach a T junction with Titi Road.

Turn left (east) up Titi Road for a further 3km until a clay road curves off left (north). Head along this track and follow a rough track west to Mt Titi. Return the same way. Watch out for trail bikes.

Experienced trampers may wish to continue north along the ridge to Mt Maunganui, returning to Maungakotukutuku Road down the steep north-west ridge through native forest.
