Lake Waiparera is a dune lake in the Northland Region of New Zealand.[1] It is located immediately North-West of Waiharara on the Aupouri Peninsula. The lake is the largest of the Aupouri Lakes. The catchment is predominantly pasture (approximately 70%), with the remainder scrub or wetland. The lake has several inflows (drains), with no obvious outflows. The lake is easily accessed from SH1.[2]
The lake is monitored by Northland Regional Council, and the environmental information can be viewed on the LAWA website.[3]
