These lakes complement a very pleasant day walk along Lakes road inland from Ngutuwera. This road used to be the main access over the hills to the upper Waitotara valley before the road following the river was formed. The road is still there but unless you have a good 4 wheel drive, it is best walked. Because of its clay surface it is closed to vehicles over winter. The lake shown below is the biggest and located along side the road . On its banks are a few remnants left of cottage and gardens that were here. Several other smaller lakes are here if you are prepared to go and look. Walk over the top of the hill and a bridle track goes off to the left, following the ridge all the way to Raroa.
