Walking and driving instructions
|
Lake Marian cascades are roughly a 1.5-hours’ drive away from Te Anau, or 3.5-hours’ from Queenstown. The road surface is always sealed. From Te Anau follow Milford Rd (SH-94) for first 87km (1.5hrs), then turn right into Hollyford Rd (well signposted) and follow it for the next 1km until you reach a car park (signposted as well). There are no facilities there. A well-maintained 20-minutes’ return Lake Marian Falls track (first part of Lake Marian Track) starts from the parking, then crosses the river via a swing-bridge and goes along the Marian Creek. Due to some stairs, the track is not suitable for wheelchairs. The spectacular series of waterfalls appear in 7-10 minutes easy walk past the river crossing. The waterfalls are more cascades rather than real 'Fiordland' waterfalls; nevertheless, they are charming and photogenic. Return via the same track (20-minutes return), or if you have enough time then continue on the Lake Marian Track up to the lake (3-hours return). |
