Driving along the eastern edge of Lake Wakatipu, have you ever noticed the tranquility of the water changes? That, my friends, is where you’ll find Frankton Arm. This serene arm of the lake is more than just a pretty view. Frankton Arm holds a special place in the heart of Queenstown. While it may appear tranquil, it was once a vital transportation route. Before bridges connected the shores, boats were the lifeline for goods and people traveling to and from Queenstown. Frankton Arm was their watery highway. Today, the walkway that meanders along the Frankton Arm offers breathtaking vistas. You can enjoy the snow-capped peaks of The Remarkables, a stunning mountain range that seems to rise straight from the lake’s edge. Take a leisurely stroll or rent a bike, and be sure to pause at a boathouse café. There, you can soak in the panoramic views with a warm drink and a tasty treat. Frankton Arm is a place where history and nature intertwine.
