Iconic New Zealand views. The most photographed mirror lake in the world.<\/p>\n\t
Offering unparalleled views of Fox Glacier, Mt Tasman and Aoraki\/Mt Cook, Lake Matheson is the most photographed lake in New Zealand … and it’s no surprise why. The walkway offers infinite opportunities to capture New Zealand’s highest peaks, native birds and flowers. Situated 6km west of the Fox Glacier township in the heart of the Glacier Country, the Lake Matheson Walkway commences between the Matheson Caf\u00e9 and ReflectioNZ Gifts and Gallery. There is an excellent interpretational area at the entrance to the walk, providing information about Lake Matheson and the walkway itself.<\/p>\n
Winding through ancient native rainforest, the walkway has three viewing platforms along the journey, providing unprecedented views. The full circuit around the lake takes approximately 1 – 1 \u00bd hours. However, a shorter version can be selected for those tight on time, which takes you on a return journey to Jetty View Point. This takes approximately 30 minutes and is graded for wheelchair access.<\/p>\n
A nature walk that offers you a tranquil journey through winding bush with plentiful bird song and stunning views, no matter what the mood of the lake. The best time to capture the perfect reflection is at dawn or dusk, before there is any breeze.<\/p>\n
If you are unable to capture the perfect photo there is a range of professional products available at\u00a0ReflectioNz Gifts & Gallery<\/a>. Some images can also be seen in our Photo Gallery. After a circuit of the lake a stop for refreshments at\u00a0Matheson Cafe<\/a>\u00a0is a great way to sit back and review your photos.<\/p>\n\n\t\tPlay to hear the sounds of the Lake Matheson Walkway \n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t
