Clark Hut
Clark Hut is a basic four-bunk hut in Fiordland National Park, run by the Department of Conservation. Built in 1941 as one of the smaller huts used for deer cullers, it sits in the upper Grebe Valley in an open tussock clearing and remains in continual use by hunters and trampers.
It’s free to use on a first-come, first-served basis (no bookings required). The hut has sleeping bunks, a stone fireplace with a chimney, and a toilet with pit latrine disposal. Access is by tramping only, either from Lake Monowai Road or from the end of Lake Monowai.
If you’re moving through Fiordland waterways, take freshwater-pest precautions: didymo is present in Lake Monowai, but not in the pristine Borland Burn, Green Lake, or Grebe River—avoid taking water from those areas and clean gear between waterways to prevent spread.
