A short, pleasant walking track to a rest area overlooking the lower reaches of Lake Monowai. Perfect for picnickers and families.
347 Borland Road,
Monowai
This easy, 40 minute walk follows a 2.2km loop track with a self guiding brochure provided. It's a great activity for families and the track is wheelchair accessible until the swing bridge.
Starting opposite Borland Lodge, the walk leads through gentle Fiordland forest with a variety of plant types, quite a few small bush birds and a picturesque creek. It is one of the best places in Southland to see native mistletoe, which flowers in early summer.
