Lake Rotoroa, Waikato

Lake Rotoroa (or Hamilton Lake) is a lake in Hamilton, Waikato, North Island, New Zealand. It has a surface area of about 54 hectares and an average depth of 2.4 metres. It is the home of the Hamilton Yacht Club, which holds regular sailing in the summer. Lake Rotoroa is a venue for many sports. At Innes Common, a park on the east side of the lake, is the Waikato Hockey Association Sports Ground. Innes Common also provides the best access to the lake for watersports. Small sailing boats and canoes are frequently seen on the lake. The lake is too small for rowing skiffs because as soon as they get up to top speed they have to stop. The lake is better suited to slower boats that can turn easily. The 3.8 km scenic path around the lake...
