Lake Lanutavake (French: Lac Lanutavake) is a small crater lake surrounded by jungle on the southwest side of Wallis (Uvea) in the Pacific. It lies to the northeast of Fineveke.[1] Like Lake Lalolalo, there is a rumor that the US military dumped equipment in the lake at the end of World War II.[2] The smaller lakes Lanumaha and Lanutuli lie to the northeast and northwest respectively.
The archaeological site Tonga Toto is located close to the lake.[3]
