Challenging walk with a steep climb of 230m. It is about 4.3km and could be completed within 1 1/2 hour.

(Translated by Google) I read the comments before departure and said it would be very steep, but when I arrived, I found that it was actually related to the entrance I ch ... more

(Translated by Google) Not a difficult trip, some climbs. Amazing view of the lake. (Original) , . .

Great for running, mountain biking or a family outing. Loved the swing bridge.

I agree with most comments the trail is quite boring but the view is more than worth it. I went with sunset and had an amazing time. Don't forget your torches tho! It's a ... more

A good walk to the lighthouse not too bad, not exactly way but doable

A few good place to be

Walk this track most days. Easy 15 mins to the beach, usually return via track, or if a good day walk around beach and back to carport at beginning of track.

One of my favourite places to go. Close to Dunedin, but you are in the middle of the bush

Parking: Gravel parking bay on turnoff from highway. Enough for 20+ cars. Fees: Track and parking is free. Restrooms: None. Its just the track.

Worth to do a loop with pretty views.

Great walk and views, but no penguins! At least not in Feb 2023. Didn't see any seals either. Must be on a different bay this year. Can get cold at sunset so bring a jack ... more

A steep climb, but worth every bit. And it's out and back, so you can choose the length of your hike. Few other people

Good walk, long, but an easy gradient.

Good for intermediate level hikes

Awesome mtb ride in the beech forest. Intrepid but worth it!

Fees: Free Restrooms: No toilets Public Transportation: Non existing Dog-friendliness: No dogs allowed

Lovely place. Saw a seal family, and penguins. Beautiful beach, stunning scenery.

Tough but rewarding climb

Really peaceful tracks to go walking down with some really stunning views of the lake

(Translated by Google) Hike with an amazing viewpoint at the end, totally worth it (Original) Randonne avec un point de vue incroyable la fin, vaut vraiment le coup

Beautiful hike. We did the loop track and it took right around 4 hours to do. It was a pretty easy walk, well worth doing

(Translated by Google) Very nice hike, which climbs well (Original) Trs jolie rando, qui monte bien

Lovely little walk through the woods. Very easy, nice for a dog walk. Lovely sounds of the stream all the way

Parking: Unsealed road parking. Restrooms: Sadly there is no public restrooms available.

Very beautiful , short walk but the scenery is surreal.

(Translated by Google) I heard that the Lord of the Rings movie was filmed here. Autumn sunshine with colorful forests is really beautiful (Original)

Track was pretty. Not too difficult up to the viewing planks which was beautiful with the view of the lake.

Sad to say our visit here was not the best. Was winter and weather had been very wet and we found the pond just brown. The bush and scenery wasn't anything much and there ... more

Great place to hang out. Off the beaten track. and quiet. Good walk up the hill though note the track is rough under foot.

Very easy trail to do. Just flat around the lake. Nice to bike

Just epic. Only time until this is more popular.

Incredible lake and because of the 40 min. Trekking, no people in there. Parking: you can park your car in front of the entrance in the street, or if you have a 4x4 you c ... more
