Lake Morehurehu is a dune lake in the Northland Region of New Zealand.[1] It is located to the Northeast of Te Kao on the Aupouri Peninsula.

The lake has 3 separate stream inlets, the lake discharges from the southeastern end of the lake through a wetland, which flows into Great Exhibition Bay on the peninsula's east coast.[2]

The land use of the lake catchment is pine plantation forestry, the lake itself has a surrounding vegetative zone of manuka/hakea scrub.[2]

The water quality of the lake is monitored by Northland Regional Council,[3] and the environmental information can be viewed on the LAWA website.[4]
