Lake Benmore is the largest artificial lake in New Zealand. It offers a great variety of scenery, plentiful shelter and excellent cruising. Lake Benmore is undoubtedly one of the most attractive of the Southern Lakes with plenty of water, attractive scenery, low rainfall and challenges for the trailer yachtsman. This is the area of water seen by most travellers passing by road and is certainly not the most attractive portion of the lake.

This is a spectacular part of the Lake with steep and craggy mountains and cliffs above the lake.
