Sutton Salt Lake is New Zealand's only inland salt lake.
With no outlet, Sutton Salt Lake has concentrated salts from surrounding soils as it has repeatedly filled, evaporated and refilled.
The complete track takes 45-60 minutes to wander around. At the time of placing the lake was full to the brim after a rather wet period of time. You can wander around the lake with your GPSr to complete the nearby Earthcache.
The cache is a 200mL sistema container.
