Nelson Lakes National Park is the northernmost part of the Southern Alps and south of Nelson city. St Arnaud is the gateway to the park where a range of short and long walks are available.
There are remote mountain passes to challenge the experienced solitude-seeker, but you don't have to be a hiker or tramper to enjoy this lake and river filled alpine world. Nelson Lakes National Park also comprises impressive native beech forests, valleys, glacial lakes and craggy peaks.
The park is home to the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project, which aims to revive populations of Kiwi, other native birds and lizards.
