Description

Lake Wombat is a fern-lined walk which climbs steadily from the car park through rimu forest to a peaceful lake. Termed a kettle lake, Lake Wombat was formed by the melting of a huge piece of ice left amidst glacial debris about 9000 years ago. This walk offers good opportunities for bird watching if you stop quietly along the way. Getting there Drive or walk south from the Franz Josef Waiau township across the Waiho River bridge and turn left onto the Glacier Access Road or Te Ara a Waiau walkway. Drive or walk for approximately 2 km to where the Lake Wombat Walk begins, signposted on the right side of the road. See www.doc.govt.nz for more information.
