Lake Tutira and the Tutira Recreation Reserve is located approximately 29km north of the Beach House and covers 174 ha. Lake Tutira is home to an abundance of wildlife and is a popular fishing spot as it is annually filled with Tarawera sourced trout. Boating, kayaking and swimming is also popular however watch for periodic algal blooms and more recently “duck or swimmer’s itch” (caused by a snail-borne parasite) as these are health hazards – please take note of water quality warning signs. The park offers picnicking and short-term camping space and there are 5 walking tracks which, at the higher points, provide splendid views across the lake and hill country to the Kaweka Range. For a longer walk, The Tutira Walkway takes around five hours to complete and ascends to the Table Mountain trig station. The Tutira Walkway is closed for lambing from 1 August until 30 September. For a smaller exploration, hit the Waikopiro Loop Track. This is 1.1km which takes 20 minutes and although short, you will see an abundance of native plants. Shelters, picnic and toilet facilities are available at the lake. Non-motorised boats only are permitted on the lake. To get there (25 mins), drive out to State Highway 2 and head north (right). It sits off to the right of SH 2, about 29km from the Beach House.
