| Information: |
Lake Lyndon is a glacial lake
shadowed by the towering and snow-covered Craigieburn, Torlesse and
Big Ben ranges. The mountain of the same name, Mount Lyndon (1,475
metres) overlooks the small lake. The Acheron River flows
from the lake to the Rakaia River. In the middle of Porters Pass Lake Lyndon freezes every couple of years, as it has really easy access from Christchurch its a great place to skate. Unfortunately its open to the wind and susceptible to rain and snow. |
