Dusky Track<br />

The Dusky Track links Lake Hauroko with Lake Manapouri, offers a two-day detour to Supper Cove in Dusky Sound, traverses<br />

three major valley systems and crosses two mountain ranges. There are 21 three-wire bridges on this track and you can expect to<br />

encounter tree falls, deep mud, tree roots and river crossings. Flooding of parts of the track is not unusual and can cause delays<br />

for several days. Rivers rise rapidly. You must take safety equipment with you, i.e. a personal locator beacon (PLB) and a mountain<br />

radio.<br />
