This rough gravel and logging road heads out to the shores of Lake Hochstetter on the West Coast, ending at a quiet lakeside spot that's a favourite for fishing.

The route follows formed gravel and forestry roads, so expect a bumpy but generally straightforward drive through the surrounding bush. It's an easy way to reach the water without a long walk in.

Pack your rod and make a day of it - the lake setting is the real payoff at the end of the track. As with any active logging area, keep an eye out for forestry traffic and respect any working operations along the way.
