Wairarapa Walking Festival 2023 - Masterton Foot Clinic Walk

Join Tom Ward, Chair of Henley Trust, for the first walk of the 2023 Festival: 3.6km along a flat trail around Henley Lake.

Henley Lake is at the centre of 43 hectares of wetlands and native plantings in Masterton. Over 72 different bird species have been recorded. The lake is artificial and was filled in 1987. A wide range of activities take place on the lake and it’s a very popular walking place, with flat lime paths encircling the lake. The Henley Trust works with Masterton District Council, Masterton Rotary and others to enhance the area for wildlife and for people. It lies between the Waipoua and Ruamahanga Rivers. The chair of the Henley Trust will tell us more.

1.6 km 20 mins short loop, or an hour total.

Caregivers please keep an eye on your children near the water.
