Facts and practical information
Lake Karapiro is an artificial reservoir lake on the Waikato River at Karapiro, 8 kilometres south-east of Cambridge in New Zealand's North Island. The lake was formed in 1947 by the damming of the Waikato River to store water for the 96-megawatt Karapiro power station. The lake is also one of two premier rowing venues in New Zealand and is the base for the country's high-performance rowing programme. ()
