Glacier Burn Track

Ford the Matukituki River at Camerons Flat. Walk upstream from the car park to find a suitable crossing point. If the river is high, drive 2.5 km further along the road towards Raspberry Creek and park by the Otago Boys' High Bridge at MacPherson Creek. Use the bridge to cross the West Matukituki and walk for an hour to join the East Matukituki track. The track leads up the East Matukituki valley, passing the old Mount Aspiring Station homestead by Homestead Creek. The grassy river flats are leasehold farmland, do not disturb the stock. Continue up the valley, then turn off onto Glacier Burn Track just before the bridge over Glacier Burn. The track is mostly well-formed but is steep in places and can be slippery after rain. The track passes through beech forest, climbing to a small saddle and then descending to the Glacier Burn. The track ends when it reaches the river and there is no marked track beyond this point. Route-finding skills and backcountry experience are necessary if continuing off-track beyond this point. Note: Camerons Flat where this track starts is on Wanaka Mount Aspiring Road and is different to Cameron Flat near Makarora on SH6 between Wānaka and Haast. There is also a different Glacier Burn Track in the Glenorchy area near Lake Wakatipu.

Mountain biking

Bikes are allowed from Camerons Flat to the boundary of Mount Aspiring National Park, at the turn off for the Glacier Burn Track.
