Geography

Spectacle Lake is a sand dune lake located approximately northeast of Wellsford. The lake is fed by a small channel from Tomarata Lake to the southeast, and flows into Slipper Lake, which eventually flows into the Jellicoe Channel.[1] The dune lakes are primarily fed by rainwater and the surrounding wetlands.

Biodiversity

The lake is a part of the Tomarata ⁠— Te Ārai Dune Lakes biodiversity focus area.[2]
