Acting Inspector Richard Morley for the Orana Local Area Command says all of the boats have been found and no-one was injured.

But he says the lake can become treacherous fast.

"The water can become very, very rough very, very quickly," he said.

"It's just one of those bodies of water I wouldn't want to be on in a thunderstorm."
