If you want to do a bike ride that doesn't take all day, then do this one. Track is pretty much flat all the way and the scenery is eye opening. Thoroughly recommend, especially for oldies

The walk along to Becon Point is not long and remember when there was not so many buildings above it. Continue on to Bremner Bay and check out Disc golf in the park. If you want to go further the path continues and follows the river for km's, well past Albert Town.

A nice flat walk from Wanaka town to Beacon Point. Lovely path following the lake edge. Wide enough to share comfortably with bike rides. Lovely architecture along the way and spectacular scenery

The walk along the lake front is very beautiful and peaceful. There is a pathway but we decided to paddle our way round the lake - bit stoney in places so bring flip flops.

If you don’t like to be with the crowds around lake Wanaka, this is the best place to view it with more serenity!

We actually drove there since it started raining when we got to wanaka. However it was still breathtaking. Would have loved to walk it but ended up sitting in our car or taking pictures.

Visited on Wednesday 9th May. We parked our campervan and went for a walk along the track beside the lake. Great to get some exercise or just to stretch your legs after a long drive.

Wed drove through town and along the lakefront then decided to park up and walk. There is no parking at the yacht club continue walking on to Eely Point and then around into Bremner Bay then on to Beacon Point. The views are simply stunning and with the sun shining on the water and trees, Kayaks paddling up and down the occasional boat.
A lovely walk but the track can be busy with cyclists who are sometimes going idiotically fast so be aware as some of them seem not to be.
Dress for the weather, layers, sunscreen hats and all that, take water and advise the use of insect repellent.
