This 6 kilometres circuit around Lake Barrine, a volcanic crater lake in Crater Lakes National Park, has recently been upgraded and is a peaceful way to spend a couple of hours in the rainforest, with serene views across the lake and plenty of wildlife on view. Water birds abound and you may see fish and turtles in the lake.
The walk begins on the boardwalk to the two giant kauri pines. Look for saw-shelled turtles and eastern water dragons around the lakes. Keep an eye out for musky rat-kangaroos sheltering in the rainforest and the colourful Boyd's forest dragon. More than 180 bird species have been recorded in the park.
