Lake Tekapo is the
second-largest of three roughly parallel lakes running north, south along the
northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin in the South Island of New Zealand (the
others are Lake Pukaki and Lak. It covers an area of 83 square kilometres, and
is at an altitude of 700 metres
above
sea level. The lake is fed at its northern end by the braided Godley River,
which has its source in the Southern Alps to the north. The lake is a popular tourist
destination, and several resort hotels are located at the township of Lake
Tekapo at the lake's southern end. The Lake Tekapo Regional Park, administered
by Environment Canterbury, is located on the southern shore of the lake.
