The "Queen's Chain" is a concept in New Zealand property law. It is a strip of public land, usually 20 metres (or one chain in pre-metric measure) wide along rivers, lakes and the coast line. It was designed to prevent land upriver or along a coast being inaccessible to any prospective buyers. The strips are incomplete and their exact modern location can be complex to determine.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/queen%27s_chain |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180808172201/https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/queen%27s_chain |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 8, 2018 |title=Queen's Chain |publisher=Oxford Dictionaries – oxforddictionaries.com |access-date=4 July 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=3517579 |title=Truth behind the Queen's Chain |date=12 August 2003 |newspaper=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |access-date=4 July 2017}}</ref> These strips exist in various forms (including road reserves, esplanade reserves, esplanade strips, marginal strips and reserves of various types) but not as extensively and consistently as is often assumed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/law-of-the-foreshore-and-seabed/page-3|title=Public access|first=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage Te Manatu|last=Taonga|website=[[Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand]] |access-date=Jun 7, 2020}}</ref>

In 2007, the government of [[New Zealand]] reviewed the rights of public access for outdoor recreation. However,  unlike the United Kingdom, "the New Zealand review recommended no increase in the public's right to access private property".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Campion |first1=R. |last2=Stephenson |first2=J. |title=The 'right to roam': lessons for New Zealand from Sweden's allemansrätt |journal=Australasian Journal of Environmental Management |date=March 2010 |volume=17 |issue=1 |pages=18–26 |doi=10.1080/14486563.2010.9725245 |bibcode=2010AuJEM..17...18C |hdl=10523/5309 |s2cid=155062172 }}</ref>
