Lake Horowhenua
Lake Horowhenua is located in the Horowhenua, an area of the southern Manawatu-Wanganui region in New Zealand's North Island. It covers an area of .
The lake, also known as ''Punahou'', lies on a sandy plain west of Levin and from the coast of the Tasman Sea. It is a shallow lake, only some deep, fed by various small streams, and is drained by the Hokio Stream.
==History==
The lake was once surrounded by podocarp forest as the centre of a rich wetland ecosystem. Today the trees are gone and the wetland has been substantially drained. The lake is owned by the Māori Muaupoko iwi, who, with the help of the Horowhenua Lake Trust, are actively attempting to restore the wetland system (that also contains the smaller Lake Papaitonga) to its former state as a conservation area.
In the 1820s the Muaupoko were attacked by Te Rauparaha and the Ngati Toa. Two island pā on the lake were destroyed and heavy casualties suffered by the Muaupoko people.〔http://www.sustainablefuture.info/includes/download.aspx?ID=106520〕
