This popular undulating walk takes you on a full loop around the lake. A short boardwalk at the southern end of the lake protects an important wetland.
Mountain biking
Due to erosion, mountain biking is no longer allowed on either side of the peninsula. Bikers should travel on the western side of the lake.
From Queenstown, drive along Glenorchy-Queenstown Rad for about 10 minutes then take the turnoff to Moke Lake Rd. Drive this steep and windy road until you reach an unsealed gravel road. Drive for about 8 kilometres, passing the smaller Lake Kirpatrick, before you arrive at Moke Lake Reserve, where you can start the track.
No mountain biking on the peninsula
Part of the Moke Lake Loop track is not suitable for bikes due to erosion.
Biking is not permitted on the peninsula, or the track sections either side of it, on the far side of the lake from the Moke Lake campsite.
The section is clearly marked and bikers must follow all signage.
