Lake Ngatu is a dune lake in the Northland RegionofNew Zealand.[1][2] It is located to the northwest of Awanui, near Waipapakauri.

Lake Ngatu has no inlets or outlets. The lake catchment is primarily manuka/kanuka scrub and fenced pasture.[3] There are houses overlooking the lake.

Recreation[edit]

Lake Ngatu is a popular recreation area, and is easily accessed via West Coast Road and Sweetwater Road. There is a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) loop walking track around the perimeter of the lake.[4]

Water quality and ecology[edit]

The water quality of Lake Ngatu has been highlighted in recent times, with particular concerns of a summer algal bloom threat.[5]

The lake is monitored by Northland Regional Council, and the environmental information can be viewed on the LAWA website.[6]
