Lake Taupō is a large crater lake in New Zealand's North Island, located in the caldera of Taupō Volcano. The lake is the namesake of the town of Taupō, which sits on a bay in the lake's northeastern shore.
As New Zealand’s largest freshwater lake, it is the crown jewel of the region. Formed by a colossal volcanic eruption nearly 27,000 years ago, the lake is a natural wonder, rich with history and beauty.
The lake is perfect for sailing, kayaking, swimming, or casting a line for world-famous trout. Explore bubbling geothermal wonders, wander through lush trails, or take on epic mountain bike rides with views that will leave you breathless. For those who prefer to stay on land, the scenic lakeside trails offer breathtaking views and a chance to reconnect with nature.
