Description |
This well-formed track runs westwards from Wanaka, around the headland to Glendhu Bay. Starting out as Waterfall Creek Track, it only becomes Glendhu Track as you leave Wanaka. It's easy walking most of the way, but as you reach the headland there's a bit of climbing to do before you drop down into Damper Bay - and then another bit of a climb out of it again. Almost every step gives good views across the lake - the ones of Mount Aspiring especially so, but there's shade, too, as well as opportunities for a swim in the lake, so it's a good walk for a hot day. |
