Lakes and Waterfalls

Fiordland’s glacial landscape is defined by its dramatic water features, including Lake Hauroko, New Zealand's deepest lake at 462 meters. This collection highlights iconic cascades like the 580-meter Sutherland Falls and the 162-meter Bowen Falls in Milford Sound. The list also includes the reflective Mirror Lakes along the Milford Road and Lake Manapouri, known for its numerous islands and indented coastline. These sites showcase the region's geological diversity, from towering multi-tiered waterfalls to expansive wilderness lakes within a UNESCO World Heritage area.
