Lyndon Road

North Canterbury

To the south of Castle Hill, State Highway 73 swings east around the Torlesse Range at Lake Lyndon and heads towards Porters Pass, then down to Springfield on the Canterbury Plain. Another option is to take the metal Lyndon Road along the southwest edge of Lake Lyndon towards Lake Coleridge.

This metal road is in reasonable condition but adds a more remote leg to this trip.

itself is worth a stop for a break. It is pretty, has a campground, and you can swim and fish during the season. At the north end of the lake, the wildflowers can also be quite intense in spring and early summer.
