A rough gravel and logging road runs through bush to the quiet shores of Lake Hochstetter. It ends right at a peaceful lakeside spot that's long been a favourite with anglers.

The drive follows formed gravel and forestry roads, so expect plenty of bumps but nothing too tricky. The handy part is you reach the water without a long walk in, so it's a good one when you want a lake setting without much effort.

Pack your rod and make a day of it.
