Lakes
Sixteen lakes can be found in Rotorua's landscape. Formed by ancient volcanic activity, the lakes now provide excellent natural environments for extensive walking tracks, fishing trips for trout, swimming, water skiing and many other water based activities.
Trout fishing is particularly popular, with the region's world-renowned catches making it a sought after area for beginner and experienced anglers. Most of the lakes are easily accessible, with clear signs and directions on local maps and some have their own fishing seasons. Rotorua Museum

Nobody would have believed in June 10 1886, that the serenity enjoyed by the inhabitants of Te Wairoa would be shattered by an outpouring of the Earth's fury. Few would have dreamed as the eighth wonder of the world - the fantastic Pink and White Terraces - sparkled in the moonlight, events deep in the ground were menacingly unfolding.
The Buried Village is New Zealand's 1886 Eruption, Excavation, History and Gallery Museum situated near Mount and Lake Tarawera in Rotorua.
