Lake Okareka (approx 12 km southeast of Rotorua city) is one of the smaller Rotorua lakes and is situated in a picturesque setting of hills, native forest and farmland with an adjacent lakeside settlement. The lake, forest, reserves and walking tracks offer a range of recreational opportunities for both local residents and visitors. The walkway starts from a Council lakeside reserve on Acacia Road, where a parking area is provided, and continues for approximately 2.5 kms around the shore to the outlet. The return walk of about an hour and a half features native vegetation, farmland, beach, lake and wetland scenery, expansive views and wildlife.

Lovely return walk over wetland via a board walk, farmland and forest. Lots of bird life. Takes about 1.5 hours.

Not so much a hike, but a delightful board and nature walk through a wetland and along one edge of beautiful Lake Okareka. There is a little bird hide along the way where you can peek out and try to spot a dabchick or coot. The walk takes about 30 mins to the end, where you will need to turn around and come back along the same path. There is good parking at the track start.
