Lovely walking track along the lake. Undulates up and down and some sections are quite rocky so I suggest good footwear. Has great views all the way along and some sections through the forest. Can be walked from either direction - is approx 40 min long. Has a toilet on the Sunshine Bay Boat Ramp side.
Very easy and nice walk. And the scenery is amazing
Lovely walk with rolling hills all throughout. This walk won't or shouldn't break you. It gives a nice mix of foliage and views for days. Watch out for the wild raspberry bushes.. They are everywhere!
Excellent leisurely place and hiking as well.
This track starts at the carpark near the Fernhill roundabout and ends at Sunshine Bay beach, about a 1.5 hour return if you don’t stop and enjoy the beach pretty hard not to. The walk is almost like a mini Abel Tasman experience, as it stretches along the lake.nnRumour has it that the more adventurous hikers have seen an 8-foot waterfall along this track, which has eluded even DOC staff. We asked a local, and she brought us to an innocuous point that will lead us to the waterfall I uploaded a photo of this point. It’s about 10-15 min in from one mile carpark, on the left before you go up to the highest point of the track - you can barely see the path as it literally goes through the tall grass and bushes. I tried to explore it with an acquaintance I met there - we got to a point where we had to sit and scramble down a steep slope. I gave up and turned back at this point, but she continued. I never found out if she found the waterfall. This path is very overgrown and there are sharp branches so please cover up your limbs before you go in. Honestly though I don’t think it’s worth the effort, there are much bigger waterfalls in Mount Aspiring National Park you can see just by driving in.
