Lake Dispute to Moke Lake Track

Located in Queenstown area in the Otago region

Follow a 4WD track beside Lake Dispute and into high county farmland to reach the southern end of Moke Lake.

From Lake Dispute and the Lake Dispute Walkway, a 4WD track follows the eastern side of Lake Dispute from the cattle grid near the southern end of the lake.

The track heads up through a short, steep saddle to skirt farmland and follows the fence line to reach the southern end of Moke Lake.

Continue around either side of the Moke Lake Loop Track to reach the picnic and camping area (1 hour 30 minutes each side).

Mountain biking

The track steepens as it nears the saddle. This section can often have large loose rocks. Some riders may prefer to walk sections.

Note: this track passes through private land.

This track continues on from the Lake Dispute Walkway. Alternatively access from the Moke Lake Loop Track.

Take extra care when parking

During the summer months, accessing car parking sites along the Glenorchy–Queenstown Road can be very busy.

Extreme caution is required. It is not recommended to park along the roadside or reverse out onto the road as the high-flow of traffic is going at speed.

Visiting outside of peak times (in the morning or early evening) may make the parking at this site easier.
