Tangoio Walkway – Tangoio Falls Scenic Reserve
- Location
- This walkway links White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve and the Tangoio Falls Scenic Reserve. White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve is 29km north of Napier and Tangoio Falls Scenic Reserve 27kms north of Napier. The walkway is well signposted on the opposite side of SH2 from the White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve.
- Description
Begin at the picnic/parking area either at the southern end of Tangoio Falls Scenic Reserve or at White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve. It is better to walk the track from north to south as the going is nearly all downhill in that direction. This is an interesting and pleasant trip for people of good-average fitness with areas where the less fit person could walk the easier sections of the track. White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve has its own loop track (not part of the walkway) which also begins and ends at the picnic/parking area. The walkway passes through native forest, open grassland, old and new pine plantations intermixed with redwoods and other species. The vegetation is of a coastal type forest and species include rimu, nikau, titoki, manuka and rewarewa. There are waterfalls in the Tangoio Falls Scenic Reserve. The track is steep in places. A stream crossing requires care after rain.
