Loop around Queenstown's Moke Lake

TAP FOR MORE INFO:

On the outskirts of Queenstown you’ll find Moke Lake – a serene and scenic spot surrounded by mountains.  

In summer, the clear waters of Moke Lake are lovely for a refreshing dip, and it’s also popular for trout fishing.

Winding around the shoreline, the Moke Lake Loop Track does what it says on the tin, encircling the edge of the beautiful lake.  

There's also an unmarked, steep route up to a viewpoint that you might recognise as a popular spot on Instagram.

Mountain bikes are permitted on the intermediate Grade 3 trail, and there is a lakeside campsite with sites you can book if you’d like to spend longer in this little piece of paradise.
