Lake Hauroko Bushwalk, Lillburn 9691, Southland Region, New Zealand 

Hauroko means “the soughing of the wind”. At 462 metres deep, this is New Zealand’s deepest lake. The Wairaurahiri River leaves Lake Hauroko and flows through the Waitutu Forest to the South Coast. Accessed from the Lillburn Valley Road, Lake Hauroko is signposted from Clifden. There are varied recreational opportunities in the area and commercial operators to help you explore. The Wairaurahiri River is the steepest river in New Zealand to be navigated by commercial jet-boat operators.

The small island on the lake (Mary Island) is the focus of several local myths, including one that the island is subject to a Māori curse. The island is famous for the discovery of a burial site of a Māori woman in 1967, who is known as “the lady of the lake” by Southland locals.
