Lake Matheson Walk - Lake Circuit: 1.5 hours return; Jetty Viewpoint: 40 minutes return Signposted off the Cook Flat Road.

If you can get a clear day you can see one of New New Zealand's most famous views here. The Lake reflects Mount Cook (Aoraki) and Mount Tasman. A complete circuit of the Lake takes about an hour and a half but it is no more than an easy 40 minute walk to the first viewing platform.
Early morning or dusk are the best times for the photographer to capture the reflections.
