Lake Marian

Location

The Lake Marian Track is accessed from Hollyford Road. From Milford Road turn off down Hollyford Road where you will find the track signposted from a car park area about 1 km from the turn off.

Description

The Lake Marian Track is signposted from a car park area about 1 km down the Hollyford Road. The track crosses the Hollyford River/Whakatapu Kā Tuku by swing-bridge then passes through silver beech forest to a spectacular series of waterfalls, reached after 10 minutes. The track then becomes steep and sometimes muddy during the 1.5 hour ascent through forest to Lake Marian.

Lake Marian is in a hanging valley, formed by glacial action, and this setting is one of the most beautiful in Fiordland. The lake is above the bush line and reflects the Darran Mountains which surround it.
