Lake Rere

Location

Glenorchy is 47 kilometres from Queenstown.
Park at the greenstone car park which is 1 hour from Glenorchy.

Description

Taking the loop clockwise, cross the bridge and follow the marked route across Greenstone Station's open paddocks for an hour to Elfin Bay. An initially steep climb through red beech eases before reaching picturesque Lake Rere (running water), a popular tourist destination in the late 19th century. Pockets of mountain beech and grassland lead you to a second bridge and a brief climb to join the Greenstone Track.

NOTE: Beware of unbridged stream crossings in heavy rain.
