Get ready for a breathtaking reward at Lindeman Lake, a true local favourite. The hike up is a short but challenging 3.4-kilometer round trip that should take you about two hours, so be sure to wear proper hiking shoes for the rocky and root-covered terrain. It's all worth it when you first glimpse the stunning turquoise water, a perfect spot for a refreshing—and very chilly—swim after your efforts. To avoid the summer crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, try to visit on a weekday or during the spring and fall.
