Lake Waipori is the smaller and shallower of the pair of lakes located in the wetlands to the south west of DunedininNew Zealand on the Waipori River.[1] The Waipori River is a major tributary of the Taieri River, and these wetlands form the southern edge of the Taieri Plains.[2]

The lake is inhabited by various waterfowl and wetland birds.[3][4] It is however too shallow and inaccessible (due to being surrounded with wetlands) to allow for recreation other than fishing and duck hunting in season.[1]

It is possible to travel from the Waipori River at Berwick through the lake and through to Lake Waihola in a flat bottomed dinghyorjetboat.[5] The lake is too shallow for other forms of motorboat.[5]

The lake is bordered to the southwest by the Sinclair Wetlands.[6]
