A popular freshwater swimming spot in the Far North has been closed due to an algal bloom which can make people ill and is lethal to dogs.
Lake Rotopotaka, a dune lake on the Karikari Peninsula in Doubtless Bay, is a busy cooling-off spot in summer and a year-round tourist attraction due to the dark brown colour of the water.
