Lake Rotopounamu Thumbnail

About

Lake Rotopounamu is about an 11km drive from the town of Turangi. They say Lake Rotopounamu was formed by an extra large landslide around 10,000 years ago. The lake is nine meters deep and one square kilometer in size. Lake Rotopounamu makes a very good place to stop to stretch the legs on your way to Mt Ruapehu or further south to Wanganui.

Crystal clear water, but very cold. You will find plenty of places to walk down on to the sandy beaches

A very good track to walk on, the track was very well maintained. The toilets are at Long Beach, not the start of the walk, more like half way.
