Slipper Lake is a lake at Te Ārai, Rodney in the northern Auckland Region of New Zealand.[2]
Slipper Lake is a sand dune lake located approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) northeast of the town of Wellsford. It covers an area of about 9 ha (22 acres).[1] The lake is fed by an inlet that drains nearby Spectacle Lake. An unnamed stream flows from Slipper Lake into the Jellicoe Channel.[3] The lake was created when the Te Ārai sand dunes began to build up, preventing water from escaping the area.[4] The dune lakes are primarily fed by rainwater and the surrounding wetlands.[4]
