Lake Okareka Community
Lake Okareka is 15 minutes drive from Rotorua and is close to Blue (Tikitapu) and Green (Rotokakahi) lakes. Lake Tarawera and the Buried Village are also nearby. The lake is popular year round, with beaches accessible by car and boat. Activities include picnics or barbeques, swimming, water skiing, yachting, kayaking, waka ama, and rainbow trout fishing. There are also a number of lakeside and bush walks around the Lake. A strong community spirit features a volunteer Fire Brigade, Tennis club with 2 new AstroTurf courts, a Community Hall available for hire (and is home to the Okareka Pres-School) and the Okareka Fishing Club has 2 annual competitions.
