The Divide is a very basic rest stop at the start (or end) of the Routeburn Track in Fiordland National Park. It’s also where you’ll start the walk to Key Summit, one of the best short hikes in the area (7.7km/3 hours return).

There are toilets at the trailhead but no phone reception, so make sure to download any maps or info you need before heading into Fiordland.

You cannot camp overnight at The Divide and doing so comes with a hefty fine! If you're looking for a place to stay nearby, I recommend Cascade Creek DOC Campsite ($) or Eglinton Valley Campground ($$).
