Te Anau is the South Island's largest lake and shows considerable contrast between the dense forest
of the western shore and the sparser cover of the east - for which a difference in rainfall is
responsible. Te Anau is a glacier lake. Its outflow, the Waiau River, is controlled as part of the
Manapouri power scheme as it flows into Lake Manapouri. Te Anau is the ideal base from which to
explore Milford and Doubtful Sounds; it is a holiday resort with amenities for visitors including
the Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre and Museum. It is known as the Walking Capital of the
World - the Milford, Hollyford, Routeburn, Greenstone, Caples, Kepler and remote and difficult Dusky
Track (as well as several other excellent walks) are all nearby. The Te Anau Glow-worm Caves, famous
for their beautiful water-formed sculpture and magical glow-worms, lie across the lake. Swimming,
water skiing and boating at Blue Gum Point, trout and salmon fishing, float plane and helicopter
flights, kayaking, lake trips, mountain biking, horse trekking, underground trout observatory, the
Wildlife Bird Reserve, Ivon Wilson Park, and yachting are also attractions. Milford is two hours'
drive from Te Anau, and Manapouri is just a 20-minute drive away.
