Great place for a run with man's best friend - your dog of course. The lengthy track ensures plenty of exercise for your pooch, and he/she will love you for it! There are also lots of grassy areas for a game of catch and sticks. Kill two bird with one stone and get your daily exercise and dog walk in at the same time. You'll also meet many like-minded peeps on the walkway and a few woof-friends for your four-legged friend.
Also known as the Great Lake Taupo Walkway, the Lions Walk makes a very pleasant 10km bike ride along the Lake Taupo shorefront. Get on your bike during NZ's bike wise month and burn those calories while soaking in the tranquil lake surroundings of Taupo. There are a number of picnic spots on the way too, so make an afternoon of it!
