Lake Henry is a beautiful, small lake found in Te Anau, New Zealand. It gets its water from underground springs, which means fresh water flows into it from beneath the earth. The lake is about 230 meters (or 750 feet) wide. You can find Lake Henry in Ivon Wilson Park, which is just south-east of the main town area. It's a great spot for outdoor activities and enjoying nature.

Fishing Fun at Lake Henry

Lake Henry is a popular place for fishing, especially for young people who are learning how to fish.

Trout for Young Anglers

An organization called Fish and Game Southland helps manage the fish in the lake. They sometimes release trout into Lake Henry. This makes sure there are plenty of fish for people to catch. The goal is to make it a great spot for younger anglers (that's another word for people who fish with a rod and line) to practice their fishing skills and enjoy the sport. It's a wonderful way to connect with nature and learn about fishing in a friendly environment.
