Ahuriri Conservation Park

This new high country park with its glaciated mountain peaks, beech forests and valley floor wetlands provides easy public access to the exceptional landscapes of the braided river valley. It was opened in 2006 following the puchase of whole pastoral leases by the Nature Heritage Fund and is administered by DOC. There is an information board at the entrance to the area on SH 8. The park offers numerous short walks and easy valley tramps.
