The Sawyer Burn Track is an 8 km long route steeped in nature and adventure! It starts at Shelley Beach, located 6 km along Meads Road and then zigzags up through the forest to the bushline until it sidles around the hill to reach Sawyer Burn Hut. Here hikers can take a break and admire the breathtaking views of Lake Hāwea and its surrounding mountains. With its terrain that can produce avalanches, the track should only be attempted by experienced trampers. The various challenges presented along this journey make for a thrilling experience that creates lasting memories!
