View from the Shirtail Track in Kingston.
The Shirtail Track starts at the Te Kere Haka reserve carpark. It follows the Shirtail Stream up to the bushline for a spectacular view of Lake Wakatipu and Kingston township.
The track up to the waterfall is well marked. Beyond here the track is very steep, unmarked and not maintained. It features red beech forest and subalpine shrublands.
This track is also known as Shirtfront Track.
