Diamond Lake

Queenstown Lakes

Just off Mount Aspiring Road, you will find the various Diamond Lake and Rocky Mountain walks, offering views of Diamond Lake, Lake Wānaka, and surrounding mountains. It’s only about 20 minutes to Diamond Lake. If it is cold enough in Winter, the lake can freeze over.

Then you can walk up to the Diamond Lake Lookout, about 100 metres above the lake. This makes the walk an hour. Lake Wānaka Lookout is another option to see Wānaka and its islands. This adds another 30 minutes. Or you can take the Rocky Mountain Summit Track, which takes about three hours. Parts of the track can be slippery and icy (when it is colder), so be careful.
