Rocky Point Shelter | Kepler Track, Fiordland National Park

Rocky Point Shelter has a big roof which for some reason Fiordland National Park seems to provide now and again. Perhaps not so much to do with sun protection, more like precipitation.

Kinda handy for a lunch stop for those not intent on departing the Kepler as rapidly as possible. Note: make use of the toilet when you spot it out in the middle of not much, it’s a long walk back from Rocky Point Shelter.

You are not permitted to camp or stay here.
