With a surface area of 616 square kilometres (238 sq mi), it is the largest lake by surface area in New Zealand, and the second largest freshwater lake by surface area in geopolitical Oceania after Lake Murray (Papua New Guinea).Lake Taupo lies in a caldera created by a supervolcanic eruption which occurred approximately 26,500 years ago.

It has ejected mostly rhyolitic lava, although Mount Tauhara formed from dacitic lava.Sailing and fishing are both popular activities on Lake Taupo.
