Lake Matheson, New Zealand

Lake Matheson is a very short drive, 10 minutes, from Fox Glacier. It is a traditional Maori people gathering location to enjoy the sharing of food. There is a walking circuit around the lake, taking about one hour, with walkways and viewing platforms to enjoy the reflections and numerous birdlife. The visitors centre features an award winning cafe / restaurant. Even when the cloud is down and mountain activities are curtailed this location is a great place to spend some time and enjoy the landscape at low level
