“Located on Rapanui Road on the way towards Bason Botanic Gardens, the designated wildlife refuge of Westmere Lake provides a rare opportunity to see native birds in their natural environment along with a walk around the lake.”
Lake Westmere is a Whanganui District Council (WDC) reserve. There is a 9ha lake within a 20ha area of bush and tracks surrounded by farmland.
The area has a lot of historical significance from early Wanganui Maori to early Wanganui city days.
A previous water supply for the city and pool for Westmere School, the reserve contains a mix of native and exotic species of plants and birds. Many of the exotic plant species add to the social history of the area.
