Located in Oteake Conservation Park in the Canterbury region

Introduction
The Ewe Range Track provides walking access to the northern end of Oteake Conservation Park.From Broken Hut Road carpark a well formed track climbs steadily, and features stunning rocky outcrops. From the saddle this track provides access for experienced trampers and backcountry skiers (in winter) to explore the Hawkdun Range.
Follow the DOC markers at the start to reach a well formed track. It is a steep climb up this track to reach the top of the Ewe Range where there are striking views towards Lake Ohau and the Ahuriri valley. The majority of the track is a public access easement through private farmland.
Turn down Broken Hut Road, 1 km south of Omarama. This road turns into a gravel surface so drive carefully. At the road end there is a formed car park and interpretation panel. Walk from the car park back out to Broken Hut Road to the DOC sign for Ewe Range Track.
