Ohakune Lakes

The entrance way is hard to find as it's under bush on a corner. You can drive in and park and walk right around the lake or you can drive right around. Nice native trees surround it.

Lake Rotokura

About 12km south of Ohakune, this is a nice easy walk. The track goes right around the lake passing through native bush. It passes Dry Lake on the way. Nice flowering clematis in spring. Bull rushes along the lake edge and good water birds.

Old Coach Road

We cycled the track but it can be easily walked too. Explore the tunnel and cross over the old Viaduct with good views of the new Viaduct. Easily accessed from Ohakune. There are nice information signs along the way telling about the history of the area.

Waitonga Falls

About 11km up the mountain road at Ohakune, this is a well-formed track through native bush. The track continues over a boardwalk across an open, wetlands area before descending through more bush to the Waitonga Falls.
Allow around 1.5 hours return.
