Forest Tower

Location

Pureora Forest Park (78,000 ha) straddles the Hauhungaroa and Rangitoto Ranges between Lake Taupo and Te Kuiti. It is a hidden wonderland of tall trees, clear rivers and rare wildlife; little known yet easily accessible if you are prepared to make a short diversion off State Highway 30 or 32.

10 minute walk from the Bismarck Road car park.

Description

This 12-metre high tower is a 10-minute walk from Bismarck Rd car park. It gives you an entirely different perspective of life up in the forest canopy. It is a good spot for observing native birds such as kuku, kereru/native pigeon), kakariki (parakeets), and kaka (forest parrot).
