Butterfields Wetland Walk

Butterfields Wetland Walk

Location: Near the Hāwea River Swing Bridge

This 2.5km loop track around the Butterfields Wildlife Management Area is suitable for biking, running and walking.


This track provides a family friendly loop option where walkers, cyclists and runners enjoy picturesque views of the native wetland and surrounding peaks as they weave their way through terraced grasslands and kānuka forest.


For a longer option continue on the Newcastle track to Kane Road or on the Hāwea River Track as far as Camphill Road or further on to Lake Hāwea Township.
