This walk along Lake Wānaka is one of those easy, really scenic things you can do without overthinking it. You can walk it, run it, or bike it, and it works for pretty much any pace.

You start a little higher up with these unreal views looking out over the lake and mountains, and then it winds its way down to quieter little beach spots like Damper Bay.

It’s the kind of place where you can take it slow, stop a bunch, and let the kids explore. And if it’s warm out, it’s perfect for a quick swim. Just really pretty the whole way through.
