Explore the Wonders of Lake Tarawera!
Set beneath the majestic slopes of Mt. Tarawera, Lake Tarawera is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. Famous for its exceptional trout fishing and inviting swimming spots, this stunning lake is a must-visit destination.
Discover the source of the crystal-clear Tarawera River, which flows through the mesmerizing Lake Tarawera Outlet before disappearing underground, only to reemerge dramatically from the rock face at the iconic Tarawera Falls. Access this natural marvel with an enchanting one-hour trek from the base of the falls or by boat from the Rotorua side of the lake.
To access the Tarawera Forest, a permit is required and can be obtained from the Kawerau Information Centre. Whether you’re here for fishing, hiking, or simply soaking in the breathtaking scenery, Lake Tarawera offers an unforgettable escape into the heart of New Zealand’s natural beauty.
