Lake Tutira was declared a bird sanctuary in 1929, providing habitat to scaup, black swans, grey ducks, shags, herons, fantails, pukeko and more. The area is managed by the Department of Conservation and provides an ideal swimming, fishing and tramping experience. Facilities include boat access, picnic tables, bbq's, cold showers, tap water and toilets. Motor boats and fires are not permitted on the lake. The ascending Tutira Walkway brings you to the top of Table Mountain, providing amazing views of Hawkes Bay. The walk takes about 5 hours to complete. Landslides are the primary source of erosion of the surrounding landscape.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
