Description

The park is almost entirely in forest, apart from tussock grasslands and herbfields on the peaks of Whanokao and Hikurangi. The forests include a wide range of podocarp-broadleaved species like rimu, rata, tawa, hinau, rewarewa, kamahi, kahikatea, miro, beech and totara. There is an important wetland area at Lake Mangatutara and bogs in the Mangawaru area. Three main river systems flow west into the Bay of Plenty the Motu, Raukokore, and Haparapara / Kereu Rivers. The unspoilt Motu River is fully protected by a national water conservation order and is well used by whitewater rafters, fishermen and other recreational users.
