Lake Gunn Nature Walk

This short loop takes you through a tranquil beech forest with many trees covered in moss and great views of Lake Gunn and the surrounding mountains. This area also has many tomtits, riflemen and other forest birds.

A short side path takes you out onto a stony beach. From here you get a good view of the mountains that surround Lake Gunn.

The walk is very popular throughout the year but isn’t as busy in the colder months. The track is near the popular Cascade Creek Campsite.
