About this place
A picturesque riverside walk along the Clutha River/Mata-Au. This track is part of Te Araroa Trail.
The route
This track is part of Te Araroa Trail . This popular track follows the beautiful Clutha River/Mata-Au on the first stages of its journey to the sea. It offers joggers, cyclists and walkers golden colours in autumn and cool shade in summer. There are some good fishing spots along the river with healthy stocks of brown and rainbow trout. The track can be walked in either direction. At the Outlet, the track connects with the Beacon Point Walk which follows the lakeside edge towards Wānaka town. From the Albert Town carpark, the track links to numerous trails including the Deans Bank Track, Hawea River Track, as well as the Newcastle and Upper Clutha Tracks.
