Emerald Bluffs and Paddock Bay Circuit
As planned for last Monday, we will drive out along the Wanaka – Mount Aspiring Road, past Glendhu Bay, turn right into West Wanaka Road and on to the Emerald Bluffs lake access track carpark. The access track “…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 follow a fisherperson’s track alongside Paddock Bay to Buchanan Rise Road and return to the carpark.
