t184 Mt Burns Track

Mt Burns Track
An enjoyable tramping track leads from the Borland Saddle through the bush to the open, tussock-covered tops of Mt Burns. The alpine tarns (lakes) and unique views and enjoying array of alpine plants are well worth the steep climb.
剛進步道的老人鬚beech樹林 讓人印象深刻 但這條步道最驚艷的是眾多小水潭 有倒影 有不同形狀 星羅棋佈 配上高山遠山 美不勝收 真是一趟難忘的水潭之旅


Borland Saddle - 登山口

世界上最大的landslides
Around 12,000 to 13,000 years ago the earth shook as 27 cubic km of faulted from ancient earth movements were undermined by a shrinking glacier and shaken by an earthquake. This is the largest documented landslides in the world.

Lake Monowai Peninsula Lookout Track
A pleasant, short walking track leads from the carpark at Lake Monowai, through mature beech forest to a rest area overlooking the lower reaches of the lake.



Lake Monowai is a great spot for boating, kayaking, fishing and family camping



This lake was one of the first in New Zealand to be controlled for hydro-electric power production – it was raised 2.5 metres in 1926.

Borland Nature Walk
The walk leads through gentle Fiordland forest with a variety of plant types, quite a few small bush birds and a picturesque creek.
