Lake Forest Park Washington Homes For Sale
Nelson Lakes National Park features mountains, beech forests, bird life, numerous hiking and walking tracks, and of course lakes – what began as deep depressions scoured out during the ice age. The crystal clear alpine waters of the two major lakes in the system, Rotoiti and Rotoroa, welcome visitors as they reflect the most northerly peaks of the New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
Nelson Lakes Past and Present
Nelson Lakes National Park is the result of the great forces of nature at work. The major Alpine Fault runs through the park, and tectonic forces of millennia have created the basic geological structure. The added effects of glacial movements during the great ice ages have further shaped mountain passes, valleys and lakes. The enormity of nature at work is illustrated in displays at the Department of Conservation Visitor Centre in St Arnaud.
Today a feature of the park is the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project, in which the Department of Conservation is taking a ‘mainland island’ approach to the re-establishment of the native fauna. Intensive pest control measures are being conducted over 5000ha of land around Lake Rotoiti. This work is clearly obvious to the visitor, and there is plenty of informative signage about the project, one of several around New Zealand.
