Lake Hāwea is a place of vivid beauty, mountainous extremes and legendary fishing spots. Lake Hāwea is an outdoor adventurers’ paradise and a great place to boat, swim, kite surf, kayak, ride, walk or just laze about on the beach. From Lake Hāwea township you can find an excellent walk along the Gladstone Track along the lakefront. With magnificent views of the surrounding peaks and (if you're brave) a lake to cool off, Lake Hāwea offers a welcome respite from the long hot months of summer.
