Nelson Lakes National Park

#summervacay Nelson Lakes National Park is a scenic and serene destination nestled in the northern Southern Alps. It features alpine lakes like Rotoiti and Rotoroa, surrounded by beech forests and rugged peaks. In summer, hiking and kayaking are popular, with tracks like the Lake Rotoiti Circuit offering gorgeous lake and mountain views. The warmer months make camping and multi-day hikes more comfortable. With fewer tourists than other national parks, it’s a peaceful retreat for those seeking alpine beauty and backcountry adventure.
