Also located in Waikato and between Hamilton and Te Awamutu, the lake is perfect for an easy-going walk, and it\u2019s suitable for younger children. You won&#8217;t see much of the lake during the hour and a half walk, so it\u2019s best to treat it more as a bush walk where you and your kids will be able to take in New Zealand\u2019s natural vegetation while breathing in the fresh air. Parts of the walk may also get wet, so you\u2019ll want to plan for that in advance, and if you\u2019re going in summer, wear sunscreen since parts of the walk aren&#8217;t shaded.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/5MApqRkMCsu6Uf2YfvCfel\/f917c32470ad8358b1c467de1c65ef13\/AdobeStock_63463670.jpeg\" alt=\"Two little girls feeding chickens\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
