About this place
This family friendly nature walk winds through native forest and takes just over an hour one way.
The route
This track leaves the driveway in from the car park just inside the bush line, taking you up to an old logging track. Follow the track markers, keeping an eye out for the tree stumps of kauri logged in the past. When the tack intersects with the driveway in, you can turn left to return to the car park or right to get to the Tangihua Lions Lodge.
