Lake Waikaremoana Track
- Location
- Lake Waikaremoana is located in Te Urewera National Park on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
- Description
The Lake Waikaremoana area of Te Urewera National Park is a marvellous destination for walkers. Besides the famous Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk there are a multitude of interesting short and day walks.
The Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk (located in the south-west corner of the 212,673 hectare Te Urewera National Park) is a 46km 3 to 4 day tramping track which follows the shore of the lake for most of its length. It is one of a network of Great Walks managed by the Department of Conservation throughout New Zealand. Prior bookings of great walk huts and campsites is mandatory.
The walk traverses a range of terrain with many types of vegetation from the montane beech forest of the Panekire Bluffs to dense rainforest. Podocarp mixed broadleaf forest is dominant in many areas. Bird life in the area is abundant.
A moderate tramp, with magnificent scenery and plenty of opportunity for swimming and fishing ensure the walk is well used throughout the year.
