About this water

At an altitude of 700 metres (2,300 ft), it is connected to the Manorburn Reservoir, which then feeds into the Manuherikia River through the Manor Burn. There is an access road to the northern shore of Greenland Reservoir, but the best way to the southern portion of the lake is by boat.
