A view of Hamurana Springs

Hamurana Springs is the deepest natural fresh water spring on the  North Island of New Zealand. Located to the north east of Lake Rotorua, the spring emerges from a rocky area within the reserve.  The spring flows as a stream for approximately one kilometre in the Hamurana Springs Reserve through a patch of redwood forest before joining Lake Rotorua. In summer the stream is home to rainbow trout who prefer the cooler temperature of the spring water.
