Things to see and do Te Urewera National Park

This long-distance hiking trail skirts the lake from the west and is one of New Zealand's eleven Great Walks. The landscape is varied, but the difficulty is not extreme, making it accessible to as many people as possible and practicable all year round.

Camping or hut accommodation must be booked before starting the walk. This can be done online, or by visiting the Te Urewera visitor center in Aniwaniwa, where you are strongly advised to find out about weather and trail conditions beforehand.
