Activities

Available anytime as part of your Discover Dingleburn experience

Walking & Tramping

With the mountains in the background, the beautiful rivers flowing through the area, and the blue lake below, enjoy the fresh air and hike, explore a few DOC (Department of Conservation) walking trails or just ramble about the station and the surrounding mountain peaks.

Fishing

River or lake fishing. You’ll find rainbow trout, brown trout and land locked chinook salmon in our rivers and brook trout in the lagoon—a ten minute walk from The Quarters (reminder to bring your fishing license).

Mountain Biking

The iconic NZ mountain biking race, the Contact Epic, passes through Dingleburn Station. Follow the 30km track or journey through the DOC cycling trails and other station tracks. Bike rentals can be arranged with prior notice.

Water Sport

Bring your own kayak, wind surfer or kite surfer and enjoy the wind-powered thrill of the lake.

Greenbush Hut

For the very fit, do an all day bike ride to Greenbush Hut, an old musterers’ hut still used by family and staff when out mustering. For the not-quite-so-fit but still adventurous, pack a picnic and drive the challenging road there.

Relaxing

Bring along a book and set yourself up on the lake shore, or just find a cosy spot and let your mind wander as you take in the quiet wonder of this region.

History

If you’re a history buff, you’ll love a visit to the old musterers’ huts. It’s a truly authentic experience that you won’t forget.
