Lake Tekapo is the home of The Church of the Good Shepherd built in 1935 to the glory of God as a memorial to the pioneers of the Mackenzie Country. Lake Tekapo is protected by the Southern Alps in the west and the Two Thumb Range to the east. Waters of the lake are harnessed for electricity through the Tekapo Canal, flowing 27km to the Lake Pukaki powerhouse then onwards through the impressive Waitaki Valley hydro system.
