Sign In or Sign Up to

Tucked away under Mt Ruapehu to the south lies the tapu waters of Lake Rotokura, providing ethereal reflections of the tall native trees, great solitude and peace of mind. The Lake Rotokura Walk is a popular walk which is easy and very pretty.

The track takes you from the car park up to man-made Dry Lake and then onto and around Lake Rotokura. On a clear day Mt Ruapehu can be seen reflected in Lake Rotokura.

Tthere are plenty of picnic tables at the lower lake within 5 minutes walk of the car park.
