Stretched over a land area of 1,02,000 hectares in the Southern Alps, it features an extensive range of short and long walking trails and is home to an array of native New Zealand’s birds.
This dense national park, separated by beautiful forested valleys, marks the beginning of the Southern Alps. From walking tracks set aside the lake to challenging alpine hikes, Nelson Lakes National Park has something to offer to its every visitor.
Talking about the lakes, Lake Rotoroa and Rotoiti are the premier attraction of the park. These lakes are encircled by multiple steep mountains, with native honeydew beech forests fringed to the shores.
