Lake

Huge lake fed from the Tasman River. Can appear as a beautiful blue under the right conditions. Hard to take your eyes off it when you're driving alongside it between Twizel and Aoraki National Park.

Beautiful views and pristine water!

Scenic and tranquil place for a stopover walk around the lake.

A tiny calm lake within a short easy walking distance, the reflection of the mountains is stunning even though on a cloudy day.Worth to visit for sure

First thing to know is you can complete the walk either way which means starting the walk from Onepoto Carl park or take the taxi to Whanganui hut and walk back to Onepoto car park.We started our walk from Onepoto car park. Stay led first night at Panekiri hut, beautiful place to stay first night it being the highest point of the whole tramp. Surrounded with beautiful views of the lake as the pictures might explain. We ended up booking a little late therefore had to camp out in Maranui hut which was not a bad place to be except for the sand flies that sting you places you never knew you could be bitten. We underestimated our walk for the third day as we left Korokoro waterfall and walk to Marauiti Hut not knowing it would take us 6-7hours to reach there. So if you are staying at the campsite on second night better complete waterfall same day.Last day walk was awesome mostly flat, few hill climbs here and there but nothing major.All in all I would recommend this walk to everyone. Such an amazing job done by Department of Conservation. Not to forget the boat ride back to the car park is the cherry on top of the great walk, pick pointing all the places you would have walked in those four days.

Great place for weekend activities. Boating superb but be aware that the boat ramp uses paywave. Not always working, my son ended up with a $40 fine.

Stunning spot, what else can I say,. Will definitely come back.Would love to visit in the winter

Can walk around the full length, lots of birds.

Peaceful lake, pleasant day. Good place for having a small picnic or breakfast at lake, nice lake view and greenery around the area with parking nearby.No alcohol in this area at all times. Boating club is also within the area.

Lake Waikaremoana is an absolute must-see part of New Zealand. The Great Walk track is the North Islands most popular Great Walk. Book a guided tour with Walking Legends and only carry a day pack!
