We recently got a second dog and thought it would be cool to go somewhere different for a dog walk. Our Dad was also getting an operation on his knee so it was the last chance for a long walk for a while. Mum helped us look online for ideas and we found a good website with walks around Hamilton and Waikato. We decided on Lake D – Kainui. Dogs are allowed on a lead. it is a loop track with toilets and picnic areas and is close to our house.

The dogs enjoyed it as much as we did. It was muddy in some parts but that did not matter too much. The duck shooting hides were very interesting. Zoe took lots of photos. Mainly selfies. We had fantails follow us around the lake. it is a good family activity and is free.
