The track initially traverses an area where Lake Pukaki village once stood, before the lake levels were raised in 1979. Part of the track leads through pine trees and is a good stroll on a hot day.

It's an easy walk for families with young children.

This short walk begins at the Southern end of Lake Pukaki, just off SH8 by Pukaki High Dam.

The start of the track is a public access easement through private land so please keep to the track.
