Lake Tekapo
Permanent Orienteering Course
Orienteering is the perfect way to get active whenever you want, enjoy the scenery and get out into some green spaces with your family at a time that suits you.
A number of maps based in the Lake Tekapo Regional Park which is just east of the Tekapo township on the lake shore. Access is via Lilybank Rd.
The maps are available for download here or some hard copies are available at the following locations:
-
Tekapo Information Centre (inside the Godley Hotel)

Kiwi Treasures (next to the Four Square)
The white courses are the easiest, yellow a bit harder, followed by orange and red.
