Moke Lake is a very pleasant, varied and scenic circular walk. It is on an excellent track of 6.2km with 108m of gentle elevation gain in total. It took us 2 hours at a gentle pace with stops to admire the great views. There are no rough parts but there is a boardwalk across a wetland which had a 20m section with a few cm of water when we did it in November (see photos) - so you need decent boots or get wet feet. To get there drive 7km out of Queenstown on the Glenorchy Road, turn right and drive for another 7km. The parking area is also a well equipped camp-site with toilets, washrooms and water taps. Total outing duration from Queenstown was 3.5 hours including drive and admiring the views.

I was blessed with great weather & little to no wind & the reflections on the lake were beautiful. It’s just a short drive from Queenstown & honestly early is best. It’s a nice drive up but the last km or so is unsealed but no issue for any car. There’s a walking track around the whole lake that they say takes about 2.5 hrs but I didn’t bother as the sun was behind me for morning photos which is exactly what I wanted. There was also a trip from town that allowed you to go canoeing or another one does fishing which looked good. All in all it’s a must see.

We did the track around Moke Lake in about 2 hours, though probably went faster than most. A little elevation gain in places, but nothing too severe. We were there on a bright sunny day and it was very enjoyable.
