Several tracks start from Hurunui swingbridge at the end of Lake Sumner Road, which is a 4WD track from Loch Katrine onwards. Vehicle access through a locked gate requires getting permission from Lakes Station.
Remote high-country lakes, beech-clad mountains, wide rivers and hot springs complete this picturesque landscape, a tramper’s mecca and a safe haven for endangered species.
