Walking and driving instructions
There is only one way to approach these waterfalls - walk the Milford Track (only DOC individual walks and guided walks are available. DOC huts must be booked in advance). You need to organize a transport to Te Anau Downs where the track starts; then a transport from Milford Sound where the track finishes. Transport can be easily booked as part of Milford Track booking via official DOC site. Prairie Lake Waterfall is approached on the second day of the journey, but there are other waterfalls which are accessible along Milford Track. Prairie Lake Waterfall is an unofficially named waterfall which drops into Prairie Lake. A few minutes of walk past Hidden Lake, you'll see the sign 'Prairie Lake' and a side track. Turn left, then 2 minutes later you'll see the lake and the waterfall. In a good weather it’s a nice spot for a lunch break. |
