Fiordland & Southland
An easy 45-minute return walk leads through forest to Lake Mistletoe, a small glacier-formed lake.
Lake Mistletoe's sapphire waters with their mountain backdrop are a beautiful setting to idle an hour. Still, the lake isn't as dramatic as the scenery further north on the Milford Hwy, so save your stroll for the return journey to Te Anau.
Wheelchair- and pram-friendly.
