        Description

        Lake Waihopo is a small (10.9 hectares) dune lake with a maximum depth of 3.7 m. The catchment is primarily pasture (80%) with areas of grazed manuka/kanuka scrub. However, the lake is completely fenced to exclude livestock but cattle have been observed accessing the margins (source www.lawa.co.nz).
