The walk is signposted clearly off the main highway 67 from Westport to Karamea.

Lake Hanlon

A hidden gem – put the brakes on and stop.

This lovely tranquil lake is relatively recent as it was formed in 1929 as a result of the Murchison earthquake.

This mirror lake sits on a south terrace of the Karamea Bluff.  It is in the middle of beech forest with a track that is an easy grade – rising moderately and then winding down to the lake.  A beautifully built viewing platform allows great viewing and photos.
