The Twelve Mile to Bob's Cove Track follows the shore of Lake Wakatipu. Lake views alter with meandering through native bush.

Budding geologists will delight in the ancient marine sediments found between Bob’s Cove – Picnic Point and Twelve Mile Creek. Fossils of oyster shells, other molluscs and algae can be found at Farry’s Beach.

Keep an eye out for summer’s red rata flowers around the lakeshore, Pittosporum and the large white flowered native clematis in spring.

Connects to the Bob's Cove Track.

Mountain bikers will find small climbs with mixed terrain surfaces.

Twelve Mile Delta was a location for Ithilien Camp - see more Lord of the Rings filming locations.
