Horseshoe Lakes is a small lake located to the east of the Tukituki River, on the Mangarara Station, south of Havelock North in Central Hawkes Bay. The lake is a wildlife reserve. The lake used to be a horseshoe shape with a peninsula but has since been dammed and become a ring lake due to the raised water level. Nestled in the middle of sheep and beef farmland, the surrounding land is being restored with native plantings and regenerative farming methods (millionmetres.org.nz).
