Message from Rach Stewart

Lake Heron, located in the stunning Canterbury region of New Zealand and the Hakatere Conservation Park offers amazing opportunities for photography due to its breathtaking view of the mountains and reflections on the lake.

Best photographed at sunset and for astrophotography, this location is a unique opportunity to capture rarely seen mountains due to its off the beaten path location. It is a great place to avoid the crowds and enjoy the natural surrounds without any human influence.

During winter the mountains are covered in snow creating ethereal wonderland scenes. I would advise taking a 4wd during the winter time and also have chains handy as the snow can get quite deep in parts and the gravel road slippery.
