Description
A lake at the border of Gisborne Region and Hawke’s Bay Region on Mangapōike River, approximately 37km south-west of Gisborne and 30km north-east of Wairoa. NZTopo50-BH42 047899.; Te Horonui describes the 'great' landslide that blocked Mangapōike River in February 2018. Due to the newly formed lake rising at a rate of 40cm a day, threatening to cut off upstream bridge access to the nearby farm, explosives were used to open a channel and stabilise the feature.
