Nelson Lakes National Park

By Alistair Ross • Sep 2nd, 2008 • Category: New Zealand Places

Nelson Lakes National Park is in the South Island at the northern end of the Southern Alps, about 80km south of Nelson, and about one and a half hours by car from Nelson or Blenheim, or 5 hours from Christchurch. It’s an area of stunning glacier-carved natural beauty and offers great tramping.
