Glendhu Bay Track

From Waterfall Creek the track follows re-vegetated terraces above Lake Wānaka with spectacular views, to a small north-facing beach – Damper Bay – ideal for swimming in the summer. This first section of the track quite hilly with some short, steep sections. From Damper Bay the track becomes easier until you finally reach Glendhu Bay and the motor camp. Don’t miss the spectacular views of Mount Aspiring from Glendhu Bay. Mountain biking permitted, but bikers please give way to walkers.
