About This Park
Welcome to the dog-friendly park at 35B Lakes Road, Ohakune! This lovely spot offers a peaceful environment where you and your furry friend can enjoy nature together. With shaded areas along a dog-friendly trail, it’s perfect for a relaxing walk. While the park lacks some amenities like water fountains and seating, it offers free parking and free entry, making it accessible for all dog owners. Though dogs are required to be on-leash, there’s a delightful mix of terrain, including a gravelly first half that may benefit from booties for those sensitive paws. The walk is about 20-40 minutes long, allowing plenty of sniffing stops along the way, and is suitable for both hot and rainy days thanks to the natural shelter provided by the surrounding bush. Do keep in mind that swimming is not allowed as the lake is considered tapu (sacred), but your dog will surely love exploring this serene spot recognized for its beautiful surroundings. With a solid 4.2-star rating based on DogPack reviews, it comes highly recommended for dog owners seeking a peaceful outing!

Really good easy walk for both dogs and humans although it is quite gravelly underfoot in the first half of the walk so if your dog has booties you may want to put them on for this one, the second half is well shaded, we went on a nice day so we're quite hot walking the first half which was kind of annoying as we thought it was shaded the whole way round. It took us between 30-40mins with the dogs and lots of sniffing stops so was a decent walk for them :) definitely worth checking out if in the area and looking for an easy walk with no hills or steps
Lovely easy walking track through the bush. Nice and sheltered so good for hot day or rainy days as you won’t get too wet. Not very long (20min loop). Lake is tapu (sacred to local iwi) so no swimming.
Fantastic walk for dogs and humans. It’s changing its name soon to Nga Roto o Rangataua. We are lucky to have a DOC reserve open to dogs so there are no facilities here, just the natural environment. Respect it please
Quiet, easy walking track, plenty of shade if it’s hot
Great for dogs to have a sniff around. Lovely bush walk around the lake.
