Lake Daniells



Sheep in high visibility jacket (because he hangs out right next to the highway)



This is a beautiful little lake in the Lewis Pass area about 3 hrs from Christchurch. The walk in is only 2-3 hours and it's very flat- it is popular with families with a nice big hut at the end. We didn't stay at the hut because it was quite busy- and ended up walking further around the lake to find a nice little campsite on the shore. This lake is actually really nice for swimming- which seems to be a rare find- most lakes seem to be quite cold (glacier fed).
