Parks & Nature

McLaren Falls Park is 190 hectares of parkland set alongside Lake McLaren and is just twenty minutes by car, from Tauranga. The park is popular for camping, fishing, kayaking, disc golf course, wedding photos, picnics, bush walks and summertime concerts. It is also home to one of the best botanical collections of trees in New Zealand. One of the highlights of the park is the waterfall track where you can see glow worms after dusk. Enjoy a short, easy stroll to the picturesque waterfall and spot the glow worms on either side of the track. The park has a great cafe. You'll also want to stop at the stunning McLaren Falls before you get to the park to take in the views and snap a few pix.
