A scenic track around a mirrored lake
This stunner of a track is around 2 hours to complete, it basically wraps around Moke Lake with little boardwalk sections over swamp lands. It creeps up the island looking hill in the middle of the lake for some outstanding views. You can also take a longer walk and go down the trail to Lake Dispute. Camping here is around $13 a night and the DOC look after the place really well. Bathrooms, cleaning facilities etc.
Directions
Only a good 15 minutes out of Queenstown you end up in the most beautiful campground the lakes district has to offer. Just head out of Queenstown on the Glenorchy road and take the turn off to Moke Lake, pretty easy to see. Then drive up the hill, the road will turn to gravel and then goes for another 8 km. Not great in the rain or winter, so avoid those times. Just keep driving till you enter the camp ground area, basically where the road ends.
