Also known as Rotomairewhenua, Blue Lake at Nelson Lake National Park (Tasman Region, New Zealand) has the clearest natural body of fresh water known to man. Scientific tests carried out in 2011 by New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) found the lake’s visibility is upto 80 metres. Nearby Lake Constance feeds water to Blue Lake.
This park is a popular spot hiking, fishing and destination but Blue Lake is two-day hike from the park boundary.
Blue Lake is most often reached as a side trip from the Travers-Sabine Circuit, although a marked route to the south, over the Waiau Pass and another to the West, via Moss Pass continues beyond the lake. The nearby Blue Lake Hut, with 16 bunks, provides accommodation for more than 700 trampers each year. (Wikipedia)
