New Zealand's only inland salt lake
A great hike for the whole family, lots of cool rocks/tors to climb and the place is really quite picturesque. The lake is about 2 ha in the winter and completely dries up in summer, turns into one of those cool cracked desert lakes. The whole area is a scenic reserve about 143 ha. Also Dogs are not permitted here.
