Author And Researcher
I'm Marios, delivering the best of Aotearoa's nature walks to your device.
I've personally walked hundreds of New Zealand's tracks and spent months in libraries uncovering interesting information on New Zealand/Aotearoa. And you'll find a slice of that research on this page - enjoy!
1.1 km return | 25 minutes return
A kettle hole lake with mirror-like reflections of the mountains on a clear day.
A great little place for some solid contemplation.
The start of the track is signposted from the road end car park at Franz Josef Glacier.
This wheelchair friendly track meanders to a bench and viewing area by the pool.
For a longer walk you can continue on the Douglas Walk (1 hour return 3.9 km), passing Douglas Suspension Bridge.
Return on Te Ara a Waiai (shared with mountain bikes)
Peters Pool occupies a kettle hole - a depression left by a broken off ice-block from the retreating glacier, which melted in situ.
