27th May -28th June 2024 track is closed for maintenance. You can still walk all the way along the lake from the wanaka tree, which is a nice short easy walk :)

Don't drive the way up to the Barn Pinch Farm. Drive 300 metres straight on and then right.

Saw "picnic" and thought it'd be a good place to prep our lunch in the back of our van. Not really, though; the scenic stuff is a few minutes walk from the gravel parking lot. That said, just down the way is a lovely little beach with a very photogenic shade tree up next to it. In the autumn it was just bursting with color. Very lovely, romantic little area. We didn't hike the whole trail but I imagine it would be beautiful and easy!

A few shady spots are available and the looks are great!

Man can only recommend ... We hiked from that Wanaka Tree until then, very nice walk 1/2 hour back. Do not forget to pour flowers on the way !!

Great spot for a swim !

Great spot for a picnic, wonderful view over the lake and mountains. We went for a cold but refreshing swim! Highly recommended!

Very nice flat walking track around the lake

Wonderful walking and biking track from Wanaka all the way to Glendhu Bay (13 km). Amazing views along the way. Plenty of seats to stop and take in the views and please - take some time en route to water the native plants that they are trying to grow!
