A treasure of the Horizons Region
Tōtara Reserve Regional Park is one of the best and most accessible examples of the diverse lowland forest that was once widespread in the Horizons Region. Nestled in the Pohangina Valley, just a 40 minute drive from Palmerston North, it’s the ideal spot for a short visit or a longer stay.
The Reserve covers 340 ha of native forest and offers a wide range of attractions, including walking tracks, swimming holes, an adventure playground, and an abundance of native plants and wildlife.
