Welcome to Cambridge Maps and Driving Directions. We hope these encourage you to come and stay here in our wonderful region which is very centrally located to the coast either side, Auckland to the North and Rotorua & Taupo to the South ...

  

    

The jewel in the crown of Cambridge & Lake Karapiro Region (part of the Waipa District), is Lake Karapiro our international World Class water sports venue, offering 7.7 square kilometres of flat water for canoeists, water-skiers, yachties, boaties and of course rowers. The area has undergone a multi million dollar upgrade due to the World Cup Rowing Championships about to start on the 28th of October 2010 until the 7th of November 2010. A must for all to view!

Lake Karapiro Domain is only 6 kilometres south of Cambridge in New Zealands' North Island and only 2 km off State Highway1. Lake Karapiro is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the lake and surrounding scenery.  There is a boat ramp at the domain that is open for public use during the year unless there is a lake closure due to an event. 

Lake Karapiro is famous for rowing and has been the training ground for many of New Zealand's top rowers. There's always something new to try at the Lake though, and many school groups take the opportunity to enjoy some great sporting education. Corporate groups utilise the Lake's facilities for team building exercises, including the high ropes challenge, orienteering, sailing, kayaking, rowing, ecology and equine trips. With several walking tracks nearby, the area is ideal for tramping during the cooler months.
