Description Sally Jacksons book, Hot Springs of New Zealand, describes it thus: The temperature of this lake tends to vary - it is usually somewhere in the low thirties. Staying close to this shore is advised, due to possible temperature fluctuations further out. The water deepens quite quickly from the edge. [George Booth, Papakura]
After passing the SH38 junction to Murupara on SH5 from Rotorua, take the first turn left down Old Waiotapu Road. After 100m the lake is on your left. Kerosene Creek is 2km further down the road. [George Booth, Papakura]

- Really not a good idea to go swimming in this lake as it is quite acidic (as in a pH of 3.7) so if you want to keep your skin then, well, speaks for itself really doesn't it...

- This lake gets deep very sharply and is very green, it is a bit spooky because the opposite side of the lake from the road is obviosly much hotter and I worried about ending up in scalding water.
