Lake Rotokakahi (Green Lake)

Lake Rotokakahi, also known as the Green Lake, is located in Rotorua, New Zealand, adjacent to the popular Blue Lake. This privately owned lake holds deep cultural significance for the Te Arawa iwi, the area’s original Māori inhabitants. The lake’s sacred status stems from its history as a site of significant battles and numerous burial grounds. Today, visitors can admire its serene beauty from the shore, as swimming, fishing, and boating are not permitted. The tranquil waters and surrounding landscape offer a glimpse into the rich heritage and natural splendor of the region.
