Geography
[edit | edit source]Slipper Lake is a sand dune lake located approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) northeast of the town of Wellsford. It covers an area of about 9 ha (22 acres).[1] The lake is fed by an inlet that drains nearby Spectacle Lake. An unnamed stream flows from Slipper Lake into the Jellicoe Channel.[3] The lake was created when the Te Ārai sand dunes began to build up, preventing water from escaping the area.[4] The dune lakes are primarily fed by rainwater and the surrounding wetlands.[4]
Biodiversity
[edit | edit source]The lake is a part of the Tomarata — Te Ārai Dune Lakes biodiversity focus area.[4]
