– Loop around the lake

Walking 2 -3 Hours : How quickly can you get away from the crowds? Not far out of town on the road towards Glenorchy a farm road leads its way through the hills to an idyllic small lake and camping ground. Picnic on the shore before walking around the lake. The walk offers some great views of the surrounding mountains and valley. Suitable for moderate level of fitness, path is very easy to follow as you’re looping around the lake. Make sure you bring enough water and sunscreen/hat as the walk is exposed.

Finish off your walk with a refreshing dip in the lake.

Note: You can also mountain bike around this lake.

Note 2: You can also go horse riding here with several options offered by Moke Lake Horse Treks

Local Tip: In the summer look out for the wild berries which can be found along the sides of the walking track.
