Geocache Description:

On the Bank of Lake Waikare-lovely vista

The largest lake in the Waikato catchment, Lake Waikare has 3,442 hectares of open water and a maximum depth of only 1.8 metres. Lake Waikare has very poor water quality and is hypertrophic. There are no large submerged aquatic plants growing in the lake.
In 1965 the lake level was lowered by one metre. This was in accordance with the Lower Waikato Waipa Flood Control Scheme and followed the construction of an outlet gate.

Lake Waikare discharges to the Whangamarino Wetland from the artificial Pungarehu Canal. The lake is managed under a strict seasonal fluctuation regime of approximately 0.3 metres. (visit link)
