When & how to get to Te Urewera National Park:
Best Time to Visit:01-Nov to 31-MarGetting There:The nearest towns are Whakatane and Taneatua to the north, Murupara and Ruatahuna to the west, and Wairoa to the east. Near the shores of Lake Waikaremoana is the small settlement of Aniwaniwa where a visitor centre is located. Waikaremoana can be approached from two directions. State Highway 38 links Wairoa and the East Coast with the central North Island, and passes the lake and the Aniwaniwa Visitor Centre. The highway has a 2WD gravel surface for about 90km between Murupara and Aniwaniwa (about a 2 hour drive). There are well marked side roads to the main boat ramps, campsites and walk entrances. Privately owned shuttle buses and water taxis provide transport to either end of the Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk throughout the year. This allows walkers to leave their vehicle at the Waikaremoana Motor Camp, where they are more secure than at the walk ends. To access the northern part of the park via the Waimana Valley, take the Bell Road turnoff from State Highway 2. The road travels about 30 km up the valley to the Matahi Valley Road end. Caution is advised as most of this road is unsealed, narrow and windy.Nearest Town:WairoaNearest Airport:GisborneNearest Railway Station:Wairoa
