“Lake Dunstan has become a major tourist attraction, with facilities for yachting, rowing, boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking and camping. Lake Dunstan is proving to be an extremely popular, and well used tourist and holiday facility, especially in the warmer months.”
The Clyde Dam created a 26 square kilometer impoundment, called Lake Dunstan. The lake extends from Clyde, through the Cromwell Gorge and widens out beyond Cromwell. Cromwell is located at the junction of the roads to Wanaka, Queenstown and Mt Cook, beside the lake, which is highly accessible, and offers vast opportunities for relaxation and recreation.
Early in 1982, work began on pre-forming beaches around Cromwell. Particular attention was paid to providing opportunities for family swimming and recreation. Many varied interests were catered for. Apart from swimming, fishing and boating, the opportunities abound for horse trailing, cycling, camping, playing or just browsing around. North of Lowburn are the Lowburn Collie Dog trial grounds, reputed to be among the best in New Zealand, and located beside the lake.
