Getting there
We have not checked a road end or car park for this place yet, so we do not give driving directions to it. Check how to get there before you go. Some routes cross private land and need the landowner's permission.
How to get there, on doc.govt.nzAccess across the farm is at the landowner's discretion, by prior arrangement only. DOC is unable to provide contact details for the landowner to members of the public wishing to access the Forest Park via the farm.
Other access options are limited. There is no public road that leads from Pohangina Valley East Road to the Forest Park.
