This lakeside walking/bike track heads west from Wanaka around the lakeshore to Glendhu Bay, which is a popular camping area in summertime.
Head west around the lakeshore from the Wanaka Visitor’s Centre on the Ardmore St. The formed track starts beyond the parking area.
The track crosses the fringe of the Edgewater Resort’s manicured lawns on its way to the Waterfall Creek Access Rd. There is a parking area here and the track continues beyond, crossing Waterfall Creek on a footbridge.
