Description
The smaller of two lakes, approximately 2km east of Kuripapango Hill in Kaweka Forest Park. Feature shown on: NZTopo50-BJ37 900375.; Ahuriri Hapū statement (extract): One of the ancient tribes associated with the area was Ngāti Ruapirau who intermarried with the Ngati Mahu people, the people of the Tutaekuri who later married into Ngāti Hinepare. The story about the seven boulders of Mahu provides a fragment of history associated with the twin lakes. There were seven boulders up the Owhakau gorge with the first being at Owhakau, the entrance to the gorge. When the seventh was reached that was the sign to climb out of the gorge and proceed to the twin lakes at the foot of Kaweka Range. The Hapū/kin groups associated with the twin lakes were Ngāti Ruapirau, Ngāti Mahu, Ngāti Hinepare and Ngai Te Upokoiri.
