Don't let Lake Wiritoa small size discourage you from enjoying it! The lake is well used by people swimming, water skiing, sailing and fishing. Public toilets are available by the carpark.
Lake Wiritoa is a deep coastal dune lake located within the Whanganui River catchment and is popular for water skiing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and fishing. This lake is monitored by Horizons Regional Council for public contact recreation on a weekly basis from 1 November through to 30 April for the presence of bacteria (measured as E. coli) and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
