Introduction

Lake Te Anau is New Zealand's second-largest lake and the South Island's largest by volume, reaching deep into Fiordland. The glowworm caves on its eastern shore and the fiord tracks beyond make it both a still water for boating and fishing and the gateway to Milford Sound. The lakeside town is a hub for hikes and cruises; winter mirrors the Southern Alps' snow.
