The Rotopounamu Track is a great place for an enjoyable outdoor experience in Tongariro National Park and the Tūrangi area. This 5 km loop has something suitable for everyone - from easy walking to birdwatching, tree lovers to families. Enjoy panoramic views of the lake by way of a broad tree stump or take a picnic break at Long Beach. The track winds gently uphill before dropping down to leisurely stroll around the lake, taking time to admire the native forests and wetlands that contain a variety of species. Experience local ecosystems and the lake's four tributary streams and see if you can spot some small passerines like the North Island robin, rifleman, and tomtit!
