For a slightly different view of the lake than the foreshore in front of the Church, you can drive (or walk) down to Tekapo Springs carpark and walk along the foreshore or the Lake Tekapo Town Tracks down the left hand side of the lake.

The view from this side of Lake Tekapo looks towards the Roundhill Ski Field and the surrounding mountains, and is particularly magical during winter.

During Spring there are often lupins growing in this area which also make for a stunning photo with the bright blue water and looking the other way at the trees in the background.
