Lake Rotoroa (Northland)
Lake Rotoroa is a dune lake in the Northland Region of New Zealand. It is located to the west of Awanui. Lake Rotoroa is one of the larger lakes of the Sweetwater group of lakes. The lake has no defined inflows or outflows. The lake catchment is predominantly pastoral. The lake is completely fenced, and with development of riparian vegetation this may reduce nutrient inputs from the catchment, particularly on formally grazed lake margins. The Bushland Trust, working with the Department of Conservation (New Zealand), Department of Conservation and Northland Regional Council is undertaking restoration at Lake Rotoroa, as well as other nearby dune lakes, such as Lake Heather, Lake Rotokawau (Aupouri Peninsula), Lake Rotokawau, Lake Ngatu, Lake Gem (New Zealand), Lake Gem, and Lake Ngakapua. The water quality of the lake is monitored by Northland Regional Council. Etymology In Māori language, Māori, ''rotoroa'' means "long lake" (''roto'' = lake, ''roa'' = long).Alexander Wyc ...

Lake Rotoroa (Tasman)
Lake Rotoroa lies within the borders of Nelson Lakes National Park in the South Island, New Zealand. The lake is fed by the D'Urville and Sabine rivers. The greatest depth is 145 metres, and it has a surface area of just under 23.5 km. The lake is surrounded by beech forest. Rotoroa is a small community at the base of the lake. The Gowan River flows out of the lake at this point, thus making the lake one of the sources of the Buller River system. The Rotoroa Route, following the northeast side of the lake, has been permanently closed to public access. Several other walking tracks can be accessed near the settlement at the head of the lake, and a water taxi travels the length of the lake to ferry trampers. The lake has introduced trout, which attract recreational fishermen. There is a fly-fishing lodge, Lake Rotoroa Lodge, on the lake. The word ''rotoroa'' is Māori Māori or Maori can refer to: Relating to the Māori people * Māori people of New Zealand, or ...

Lake Rotoroa (Hamilton, New Zealand)
Lake Rotoroa or Hamilton Lake (officially Lake Rotoroa / Hamilton Lake) is a lake in Hamilton, Waikato, North Island, New Zealand. It has a surface area of about and an average depth of . It is the home of the Hamilton Yacht Club, which holds regular sailing in the summer. Geography Lake Rotoroa formed, like most of the lakes in the central Waikato (Hamilton) basin, about 20,000 years ago, after the Waikato changed course to flow out at Port Waikato, rather than at Thames. It was a high-energy, braided river carrying large volumes of volcanogenic sediment (Hinuera Formation), which was deposited over and around a pre-existing hilly landscape to form an alluvial plain. In the process of depositing the alluvium, small basins were formed adjacent to the hills, and water then accumulated from local drainage and groundwater in these small basins. At Rotoroa, initially two small shallow lakes were formed with clear water in an embayment of the partially enclosing hills, a low spu ...
