Summary

Description

I was driving up the western side of Lake Taupo on the way to visit my brother-in-law when I saw a sign pointing to Waihora Lagoon - 7 km. I thought seeing it's not far I'll take a look. Well, it was a gravel road where the pot-holes got larger as I went. Pity I didn't have a 4WD instead of a saloon car. From the car park there is a 600m walk to the lagoon but when I got there it was dry - not a drop of water! A sign stated that the water level of these wetland lagoons depends on the amount of rain. Beautiful place - well worth a visit, especially if the lagoon is full of water! Anyway I was taken by how the light was catching the moss on these trees....

Waihora Lagoon:

"This easy walk in Pureora Forest Park takes you to a small rain-fed lagoon surrounded by tall kahikatea and rimu trees. The boardwalk snakes through the bush to the viewing platform, which provides a tranquil spot to enjoy beautiful reflections and a variety of bird life. This track is best enjoyed after rainfall to appreciate the mirror effect of the lagoon. However, keep in mind that heavy rain may bring the lagoon level up over the boardwalk. Access gravel road is in disrepair and is only recommended for 4WD vehicles." (Google Reviews)
