Knobs Flat: The Milford Road's Essential Pit Stop
“The wide spot in the Eglinton Valley you're approaching is Knobs Flat. This is the main pit stop on the drive, and a key piece of information is that it's the last place with flush toilets before reaching Milford Sound.”
Real stops, real narration
The tips that save your Fiordland day.
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Fiordland.
-
Bowen Falls
Waterfall“You're coming up on Bowen Falls, or Hineteawa in Māori. It’s a 162-meter cascade and one of only two permanent waterfalls in Milford Sound, so it’s always impressive.”
App tip Book your Milford Sound cruise in advance; early or late departures are quieter.
-
Mirror Lakes
Boardwalk“Keep an eye out for the stop for Mirror Lakes. It's a very short boardwalk to a series of ponds that, on a calm day, create a perfect reflection of the Earl Mountains.”
App tip Budget 10–15 minutes, but pause for wind lulls to get the best mirror.
-
Pop's View Lookout
Roadside“The pull-off ahead is Pop's View Lookout, offering a huge panorama down the Hollyford Valley. It's a great spot to stretch your legs and see the classic U-shaped valley carved by ancient glaciers.”
App tip If the main bay is full, use the larger gravel pull-off just east for the same view.

“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”
“Great app , works offline and audio tour while driving its amazing.”
“Loved it after I figured out how to use the app, the information was very interesting and the automatic play as you drive was very convenient. The map came in handy too when we lost connection on our GPS. Thank you!”
“We loved the fun facts and found spots we wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s awesome that it works offline too.”

Questions before you go
How does the self-guided Fiordland tour work?
Open Parkwolf, tap Start Tour Guide and drive. Your phone’s GPS triggers each story as you approach an overlook, trailhead, pullout or hidden spot. There’s no set route, so take any road in any order.
Will it help me plan my Fiordland itinerary?
Yes. Every stop has the app’s tips on timing, parking and crowds, and every trail lists its distance, climb and time, so you can plan your day before you go. Then the guide narrates it as you drive.
Does it work without cell service?
Yes. Download Fiordland before you go and the map, the narration and every tip work offline, even where your phone shows no bars.
What does it cover?
Overlooks, trailheads, pullouts and hidden spots across Fiordland National Park, from Bowen Falls, Mirror Lakes and Pop's View Lookout: 128 stories in all.
How much does it cost?
Parkwolf is free to download. The Tour Guide is part of Parkwolf PRO, which starts with a free trial, and one subscription covers everyone listening in your car.
Does it work with CarPlay or Android?
Both. Parkwolf works with Apple CarPlay, and it’s available on Google Play for Android.
Can I use it in other parks?
Yes. The same guide covers 100+ national parks, state parks and scenic drives, from Yellowstone to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
