Lake Sylvan (New Zealand)
Lake Sylvan is a small lake north of Lake Wakatipu in the South Island of New Zealand. It lies within the boundaries of the Mount Aspiring National Park near the Queenstown start of the Routeburn Track.
Description
The lake is surrounded by native red beech forest and is fed by two small streams. Its outflow leads past a swampy area southeast of the lake and into Dart River.
A walking track leads from a Department of Conservation campsite, along the lower Route Burn to a viewing platform on the southern shore of the lake. The campsite at start of the Lake Sylvan Track has a parking area and can be accessed by a short gravel road off Routeburn Road.
