LAKE HANLON WALK
The track to this scenic gem climbs over a forested ridge to a lakeside viewing area, with Kahikatea at the water’s edge, backed by beech forest, with occasional podocarp species and southern Rātā.
Lovely uphill walk through native bush to Lake Hanlon on the west coast.
Punga Ferns stand tall amongst the forest fauna.
Track is clear and open for the most part and there are seats to rest and get good views of the area.
This shot was taken like a picture frame and the ferns central, amazing.
This lake is fully surrounded by native trees and is reach in colour.
Kahikatea and beech forest surround the lake edge on the ridge.
From the viewing platform you can get a full vista of the lake and the fantastic scenery in 360 degrees.
The Lake Hanlon Walk is only a short 15-20 minute one way for all to enjoy.
Dense bush and trees give the lake a complete boundary
A hidden lake that is signposted on the way to Karma on the west coast.
