Monday's Walk 12th November 2018

Dingleburn Track, eastern shore of Lake Hawea.

We will meet at the usual Homestead Close carpark at Wanaka Station Park.

On the main road to Lake Hawea take Camp Hill Rd to the right, go to the end and turn left into Gladstone Rd. Follow to John Creek.

We follow the dirt road along the eastern shore of Lake Hawea to the D.O.C. car park......40 kms from Wanaka, 8 kms north of Timaru Creek.There is a toilet and info board at the car park on the right hand side of the road.

This is an easy lakeside walk on a 4wd track to Silver Island Bay, about 13 kms return.The topography is mostly flat with a few minor hills, with fabulous views of lake and mountains.We will have lunch at Silver Island Bay so pack your sandfly repellent.

FORDS......there are several small fords so take extra care if you are in an ordinary car, preferably we will use 4WD's. 

There are many precious lambs wandering on the road so please be aware!

Be prepared for some rain.

Trip Leader,
