Information About

Lake Alabaster




Lake Alabaster drains, and is drained by, the Pyke River , a small tributary of the Hollyford River . It is one of two lakes (along with Lake McKerrow ) found in the lower reaches of the Hollyford River system. A branch of the Hollyford Track , one of New Zealand's most well-known and popular Tramping tracks, extends along the eastern shore of the lake.

The lake was formed at the southern end of a glacial valley and, had the sea level been slightly higher, would have been the northern arm of what might have been McKerrow Fjord.
