**Slipper Lake** is a lake at [Te Ārai](/source/Te_%C4%80rai), [Rodney](/source/Rodney_(local_board_area)) in the northern [Auckland Region](/source/Auckland_Region) of [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand).[2]

## Geography

Slipper Lake is a sand dune lake located approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) northeast of the town of [Wellsford](/source/Wellsford). It covers an area of about 9 ha (22 acres).[1] The lake is fed by an inlet that drains nearby [Spectacle Lake](/source/Spectacle_Lake_(New_Zealand)). An unnamed stream flows from Slipper Lake into the [Jellicoe Channel](/source/Jellicoe_Channel).[3] The lake was created when the [Te Ārai](/source/Te_%C4%80rai) 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]

## Biodiversity

The lake is a part of the Tomarata ⁠— Te Ārai Dune Lakes biodiversity focus area.[4]
