The Lake Gunn Nature Walk offers visitors a chance to take in the beauty of wild Fiordland. Along the 1.4 km loop, trekkers can wander through red beech forest and appreciate unique glimpses of the birdlife of the Eglinton Valley as well as Lake Gunn and the surrounding mountains. This flat track is suitable for all fitness levels and makes an ideal family outing perfect for children. The views become even more incredible at the end of the track where visitors can take in the stunning sights of the majestic mountains that surround the lake.

For photography the best view is straight from the Lake Gunn carpark and lake foreshore. There is plenty of room to wander along the lake edge and ample opportunities for compositions. Have your wide angle lens ready and head there for early morning or late afternoon for a better chance at a reflection.
