Rotorua Lakes

The Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes are popular for many forms of recreation and are a taonga to the people of Te Arawa.

Our lakes are nationally significant to New Zealanders and are treasured natural assets of great beauty.

Protecting and restoring the Rotorua Te Arawa Lake is a high priority for the Regional Council.

We are proud partners of the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Programme, a partnership with Rotorua District Council and Te Arawa Lakes Trust to preserve our lakes for present and future generations.
