Lakes
Lakes.
There are not any lakes worthy the name. The largest is Kapara te Hau, more familiarly known as Grassmere, situate on the coast between the Awatere River and Cape Campbell. It is about three miles in diameter, and very shallow, being, indeed, no more than a lagoon, as during a dry season there is little or no water in it.
The only other known lake is Lake McRae, situate in the open country between the Awatere and the Clarence Rivers.
