Okaro - Okaro

Located on the shores of Lake Okaro in the Waimangu area of the Bay of Plenty, this grassy access point provides a small boat ramp suitable for waterski boats and other watercraft.

The 31-hectare lake is fed by a small stream from the northwest, with the Haumi Stream draining it toward the Waimangu Thermal Valley and eventually Lake Rotomahana.

Users should be aware that a permanent advisory is in place cautioning against recreational water contact due to recurring blue-green algae blooms.

Surrounding land is predominantly farmland, and ongoing restoration efforts led by the Okaro Catchment Lake Restoration Group — formed in 2009 — have worked to improve water quality through fenced riparian planting and nutrient loss caps on nearby properties.
