Lake Marian Falls

About

Surrounded by dense forest, but only a few minutes walk from the car park, Lake Marian falls is one of the easiest ways to dip your toes into the stunning beauty of the Fiordland National Park. Crossing a suspension bridge and following the stream along a well-graded track, the sound of the raging rapids leads visitors to a viewing platform to immerse yourself in the beauty of this powerful cascade. More dedicated hiker may want to extend their visit to make the 3 hour return trek to the stunning Lake Marian. Working its way up through dense alpine forest, the track eventually emerges on the shores of this glacial lake located at the base of a hanging valley, with soaring peaks on all sides. The daring can even take a dip in its brisk waters.
