lake mangamahoe

In 1931 the lake was created by forming a dam across the valley and submerging 79 acres for power generation.

To protect the steep hillside from eroding, planting was undertaken to protect the pine trees growing in what is now the Mangamahoe Forest.

Public entry to the forest was once restricted until 1990.
