Description

Dukes Tarn is close to Lake Luna in the Richardson Mountains. The small lake is surrounded on two sides by alpine grass, and on the eastern southern end it meets native forest. The lake drains through the forest to Lake Wakatipu via Twenty-five Mile Creek on the Queenstown-Glenorchy Road.
