Beacon Point Walk

Location
Beacon Point Walk starts at Bremner Bay and follows the shoreline of Lake Wanaka to Penrith Beach.
Description

Enjoy great views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

From Penrith Beach walkers can continue along the road to the Lake Outlet. This track was once a fishermen's access road and open to traffic. Now it is a walking track after sections of the road fell away after storms. It is also a popular route for mountain bikers.

Once the outlet is reached a further walk can be made to Albert Town down the beginning of the Clutha River. The start of this track can be reached by Andersons Road and turning into the Outlet Road. The track begins from the beach. It is the ideal walk when Wanaka is windy.
