Emerald Bluffs lake access track - Paddock Bay circuit
The access track, off West Wanaka Road, leads you along the eastern boundary of the Emerald Bluffs estate, around a magnificent wetland area and down to Lake Wanaka and Emerald Bay. More than 100,000 native plants, in over 60 different species, have been planted to date. The wetlands includes a lagoon with lots of birdlife and trout, and the snow-capped peaks of the Buchanan mountain range as a backdrop.
From Emerald Bay we walk along the lake shoreline past Waterbird Bay, Captain Hook’s BBQ, the Bridges of Sights, the 12 Willow Islands, and Black Swan Inlet to the Paddock Bay angler’s carpark and back along the West Wanaka Road to the Emerald Bluffs access track car park.
