Lake Pukaki
| Lake Pukaki, a significant part of New Zealand's 'Million Dollar View',
is not so popular for recreation because it is cold and has a high silt
content. It does, however, have good fishing where streams flow in, several
boat ramps and a camping area in the trees on the east side of the dam. |
| Lake Pukaki is the major water storage for the Waitaki Power Scheme and
site of the Tekapo B Power Station. From here, the tar-sealed Tekapo Canal
road provides a fast and more scenic route to Tekapo township than SH8. |
