Tatiana Howard: Clinic in New Zealand ![]() Lake Clearwater How to get there- Go south out of Christchurch towards Ashburton. Turn off at Rakaia (40 min) , follow sign posts to Mt Somers (40 min) , then follow signs to Lake Clearwater (20 min). What to take (for camping) FOOD - enough for 3 days , can be cold, & closest pub in Mt Somers , so take lots... WATER - All your own water, lake is fresh water, but take your own drinking water... (beer etc) TOYS - hiwind gear, light wind gear / fishing rod ( lake has good stocks of trout ) /mountain bike, lots of good terrain / tramping boots / boat, Lake camp is good for wake boarding, waterskiing etc / plus any other outdoor toy. CLOTHING - Shorts , t-shirts & bikinis Plus polar wear. Can be nice & warm, ALSO can be very damn cold. Has snowed many times , be prepared... What not to take Lake Clearwater is a wild life reserve - READ the Signs Dogs - no dogs allowed !!!!!!! Lake Rules... No power boats on Lake Clearwater. No kiting or sailing before 10am, this is fishing time... Keep off the island and stay away from the roped off areas. Launch kites & windsurfers by the boat ramp, stay away from the trees as this is a nesting ground. posted by editors at 9:31 AM |
