Lake Kanono is a relatively large (74.2 hectares) and deep dune lake (15.6 m) located near Pouto Point. The catchment is predominately pastoral with pine forestry on the western edge and small areas of native scrub. Although approximately two thirds of the lake margin on the pastoral side is fenced with an excellent quality deer fence, the lake margin is frequently grazed by livestock (source www.lawa.co.nz).
