Cascade Creek

Fiordland

Cascade Creek campground (DOC) and the Lake Gunn Nature Walk can be found at the north end of Eglinton Valley on Te Anau Milford Highway, shortly before Lake Gunn. This is an easy 30-minute, beautiful short loop walk through mature beech forest, with rainforest overtones, to the creek and edge of Lake Gunn. It is probably the best place to stop in the valley to experience the beech forest. From the forest edge, there are nice views across the campground grasslands to the surrounding mountains.

For track access, there is a car park almost immediately off the road with access to the loop trail, or you can continue and drive through the large campground, staying on the northside access road. Park near the bridge over the creek. There is no marked track entrance by the beech trees, but it is easy to find near the creek.
