Arnaud Ridge Track"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The St Arnaud Ridge track starts from the Lake Rotoiti lake front at Kerr Bay and is a 10 km return hike. &nbsp;The track climbs from 620 m at the lake shore to 1700 m at the ridge line. &nbsp;The walk meanders through native forest for the first roughly 4 kms on a zig zag track up towards the ridge. &nbsp;The trees become progressively shorter as the track gains in elevation towards the tree line at 1400 m. &nbsp;Just above the tree line are the Parachute Rocks, which are an ideal place for a break whilst enjoying the magical view over Lake Rotoiti, St Arnaud and the surrounding area. &nbsp; The final climb up to the ridge line involves a climb of about 250 m. &nbsp;It is worth the effort as the view from the ridge is outstanding and encompasses a 360 degree view over both the Lake Rotoiti area and to the east the Wairau River valley is visible.<\/p>\n\t<div id='ggpkg_container_0_1186' style='width:100%; height:480px; position:
