Sitting near the top of Porters Pass this really is a high country lake in the truest sense. State Highway 73 passes the northern eastern tip of Lake Lyndon between Springfield and Castle Hill Village. It rests some 90 minutes drive from Christchurch - the last part of the journey being up the steep Porters Pass section of SH73.
Access is excellent with the Lyndon to Coleridge road skirting the south eastern shoreline. There are plenty of places for boat launching.
