About

Lake Quill is a tarn located high up in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park.

It is located in the Fiordland National Park at 979 m above sea level. It is approximately 1.2km2. The lake may have formed by movement of glaciers during the last ice age.

The cirque lake is the source of Sutherland Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the country and seventh-highest in the world. They cascade from Lake Quill in three tiers into the Arthur Valley alongside the Milford Track, approximately 20km from Milford Sound.
