Lake Matheson Walkway, Fox Glacier, South Island.
Description
A gentle walk leads to views of the mountains reflected on the still waters of Lake Matheson.
Lake Matheson is nestled in ancient forest and is famous for mirror views of Aoraki/Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. Its excellent reflecting properties are due to the dark brown colour of the water the result of organic matter leached from the humus of the forest floor. Dawn and dusk are the best times to enjoy the reflections in the lake.
