Spectacle Lake is a lake at Te Ārai, Rodney in the northern Auckland RegionofNew Zealand.[2]

Geography[edit]

Spectacle Lake is a sand dune lake located approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) northeast of Wellsford. The lake is fed by a small channel from Tomarata Lake to the southeast, and flows into Slipper Lake, which eventually flows into the Jellicoe Channel.[3] The dune lakes are primarily fed by rainwater and the surrounding wetlands.[4]

Biodiversity[edit]

The lake is a part of the Tomarata ⁠— Te Ārai Dune Lakes biodiversity focus area.[4]
