Lumsden
The hub and crossroads of beautiful Northern Southland, Lumsden is nestled in a picturesque and tranquil basin through which meanders the Oreti River - one of the sources of the famous brown trout, and a paradise for fishermen. Today, Lumsden revels in its role as the crossroads for travellers who choose to venture to this peaceful and restful part of Northern Southland. Journeying from all directions of the compass - Queenstown to the north, Gore to the east, Te Anau and Milford Sound to the west and Invercargill to the south.
