Description
(North to South)

 This track comprises 3 popular local tracks: the Outlet; Beacon Point and Bremner Bay Tracks. It takes walkers from the Albert Town  through to the Wanaka CBD lake frontage.

From the Albert Town (true right) side of the Clutha River Bridge Te Araroa heads upstream on the riverside trail. There is a toilet and interpretation panels a little over a kilometre further along. Continue riverside towards the Lake Wanaka's  outlet.

 
Once at the outlet the trail continues around the Lake Wanaka shore. The pathway broadens into vehicle track but for the most it is still foot traffic and cyclists only.
 
Beyond Beacon Point the trail reverts to walking track and continues around the lake to Bremner Bay. There is a water fountain at the south end of this bay, a short distance from where the track enters the Eely Point Recreational Reserve, and toilets within the reserve itself. On the far side of the reserve the track continues lakeside into Roys Bay, past the boat ramp, and towards the Wanaka CBD.

 

The track ends at the Visitors' Centre on the lakeshore.
