Lake Road railway station was a flag station in the Waikato Region and on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand. By February 1880 the contractor, Mr Fallon, had laid the rails from Ōhaupō to a point south of Lake Road. The line opened to Te Awamutu on Thursday 1 July 1880. Lake Road wasn't shown in the original timetable, but, in 1880, there was pressure from local farmers for a station between Ōhaupō and Ngaroto. On Sunday 7 July 1940 Lake Road closed to all traffic.

| - Lake Road railway station was a flag station in the Waikato Region and on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand. By February 1880 the contractor, Mr Fallon, had laid the rails from Ōhaupō to a point south of Lake Road. The line opened to Te Awamutu on Thursday 1 July 1880. Lake Road wasn't shown in the original timetable, but, in 1880, there was pressure from local farmers for a station between Ōhaupō and Ngaroto. In October 1880 it was decided to open a 7th class station at Wrights Road, mid-way between Ōhaupō and Ngaroto. David Henderson won the contract for the station buildings in November 1880. The station first appeared in the 1 March 1881 timetable. By 1884 Lake Road had a shelter shed, platform and cart approach. Toilets were added in 1908, but there was also a complaint that the platform was only long enough for two coaches. By 1911 it also had a loading bank. That year a man died when he'd not informed the guard that he wanted to get off at the flag station and fell from the moving train. In 1914 the 1 in 43 gradient at Lake Road was eased to 1 in 100, allowing train tonnages to be increased from a maximum of 209 to 494 tons. On Sunday 7 July 1940 Lake Road closed to all traffic. (en)
