Access |
Take Rhoboro Downs Road off SH8 ca. 1 km south of the Lake Pukaki outlet, and stay on this until it meets the canal, then on until it becomes Glen Lyon Road. Follow this until it reaches Lake Ohau, and continue along the lake side for ca. 6 km. Walk starts near Greta Lodge. |
Description |
Greta Track offers a challenging but very worthwhile 16 km loop walk through remnant beech to a old musterer's hut, before a rough descent to Lake Ohau. From near Great Lodge, Dorcy Track - a 4WD track - gives access to an airstrip, from where it's a one hour climb up Flanagan Pass Track to the sdaddle and views down into the Darts Bush valley (which unfortunately is not dog friendly). |
