Its name was changed from Lake Ototoa to Lake Rototoa in 2013.[4] Rototoa translates as 'Lake of the Warrior', and is part of a line of lakes known as 'the Footsteps of Kawharu' after the warrior Kawharu who fought with the Ngāti Whātua tribe against the resident Waiohua, Ngaririki and Kawerau tribes in the late 17th to early 18th centuries.[5]
Biodiversity
The lake is an important wildlife habitat for a number of New Zealand bird species, including the New Zealand grebe, New Zealand scaup and grey duck. The lake is vegetated with Typha orientalis and Eleocharis sphacelata.[6]
