		Lake Hauroko is located in a mountain valley in Fiordland National Park in the South Island of New Zealand.
		The long s-shaped lake is 40 kilometres in length and covers an area of 63 km².

		Hauroko (meaning sound of the wind) lies in a deeply incised glacial valley along which winds are funnelled, making it a hazardous place for small boats.
		Lake Hauroko lies just within the southeast boundary of Fiordland National Park and is protected by swarms of sandflies and inhospitable terrain.
		Lake Hauroko is a valuable part of the aquatic plant conservation estate.

		At the Lake Hauroko end, we paid $60 to Lake Hauroko Tours, which covers the boat ride itself and a mini-bus from Tuatapere (88 km west of Invercargill; 100 km south of Te Anau).
		Namu, our transport across Lake Hauroko, was as eager to start the trip as we were, judging by the boat's attempts to break free from its moorings.
		Hauroko Burn Hut (10 bunks) is a quick 30 second scamper from the drop-off point.

		Hauroko is New Zealand's deepest lake at 462 metres and, some say, it's most beautiful, surrounded by untouched (except by deer and pigs) native forest and for the most part by mountains, which at the head of the lake, within 20km of Dusky Sound, rise to more than 1500 metres.
		I sat in the middle of the lake contemplating pushing on, but given the warnings I had received, the fact this trip was intended to be a holiday not an epic, and the increasing wind I opted out.
		To the west sheets of spray are whipped off the lake surface as the wind increases and the waves, growing bigger, break loudly on the beach.

	Southern Scenic Route
		Lake Manapouri is dotted with thirty five islands and dozens of secluded bays, and with some 157 km of shoreline it is an ideal lake to explore by kayak.
		The lake is deep and clear and edged with sandy beaches which are great for camping.
		Carved during the glacial age the lake is clear, with deep water, coves and cliffs, fed by waterfalls, pure mountain streams and cradled by classic Fiordland native bush and mountain scenery.

		Lake Hauroko surged with the fury of a tempest at sea.
		The vast scale of the surrounding peaks, illuminated by a brilliant orange sunset, dwarfed the hut, which stood on the edge of a field carpeted with golden tussocks.
		What lay before us was a pristine world of emerald lakes, rolling fields of tussock grass, and craggy mountain peaks piercing an ocean of blue sky.

		We had planned to spend one day at sea, one on Lake Hauroko and one on a local walk.
		The prevailing weather pattern and marine forecast showed that of the three available days Saturday was the safest day for the sea trip.

	- How to cross lake Manapouri?
		My plan was to start it at the Manapouri lake side, thus I need to cross the lake from East to West.
		Because bookings are essential for the trip across Lake Hauroko (and boat service less frequent), most people start at the Hauroko end.
		Also, starting at the Hauroko end lets you time the weather to have good views from the Pleasant Range and Lake Roe, which is definitely the scenic highlight of the trip.

	Wells et al.--Submerged vegetation of NZ lakes
		Abstract The submerged vegetation in Lakes Te Anau, Manapouri, Monowai, Hauroko, and Poteriteri from the South Island of New Zealand, was surveyed in 1993 using SCUBA methods to record a range of botanical parameters to the deepest extent of the vegetation.
		The most frequent tall vascular species in Lakes Te Anau, Manapouri, and Monowai was the adventive Elodea canadensis, which was not recorded in Lakes Hauroko or Poteriteri.
		The bottom depth limits of the vegetation ranged from 7.5 to 19 m, with Lake Hauroko, the clearest lake, having the deepest vegetation.
