Lake Wanaka

Wanaka is the last stop before Queenstown and sits on the southern end of Lake Wanaka. Like all the southern islands glacial lakes it is big, deep and cold. It is 42km long (26 miles) and at its widest point is 10km across. Its average depth is around 300m. It is one big lake! Photographs can’t really do it justice but here are two to try.
