lake situated 100 km northwest ofChristchurch , Canterbury. The lake is located in theLake Sumner Forest Park ; theHurunui River and several other lakes (Loch Katrine,Lake Sheppard ,Lake Taylor and Lake Mason) also lie within the park.The Lake Sumner region is a popular area for
hunting , tramping,trout fishing ,whitewater kayaking , andmountainbiking . Several DOC tramping huts in the region make it a common destination for overnight trips; however, the area's comparatively remote location and difficult vehicle access mean it is seldom crowded.
