Urewera reminded me a little of Algonquin park back home, its a couple big lakes set in thick, old-growth forest. Lots of people boating, fishing and kayaking on the lake. There are endless walks around this area, and several waterfalls. Lake Waikaremoana is the big lake that gets the most attention from Kiwis & travelers, but lake Waikareiti is the place to be! We did a nice hike into this lake which is smaller, but higher up in the hills from Waikaremoana. It is the most crystal clear, unspoilt lake we've ever seen, we had a nice swim in this lake when we got there, ice cold but still very nice with its white sand and clear water.
