Description
Rosie Bay
Starting at Rosie Bay, the track follows what was a traditional Maori route to Lake Kaitawa. It follows a valley which arcs around the trailing edge of the landslide block which slid from Ngamoko (see Lou's Lookout description in Lake Waikaremoana area short walks). It features grassy clearings and some beautifully formed totara and matai trees. After passing through dense bush the track descends gradually to Lake Kaitawa.
Getting there
Lake Waikaremoana is located in Te Urewera National Park on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
