Getting there
We have not checked a road end or car park for this place yet, so we do not give driving directions to it. Check how to get there before you go. Some routes cross private land and need the landowner's permission.
How to get there, on doc.govt.nzThe track starts at the northern end of Glenorchy – follow the signs near Lake Wakatipu on Mull St. For your safety, do not park or access the track from the Glenorchy Paradise Road - this is a hot spot for accidents.
