Getting there
Tangihua Northern Track track is located in the Tangihua Forest which is found halfway between Whangarei on Northland's east coast and Dargaville on the west coast.
Access to the Northern Tangihua Track is via the Te Haua Uru Track or Tangihua Main Ridge Track. The route to the DOC hut takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours from the junction.
Your best access into Tangihua Forest is from Omana Road. The Omana Road Tangihua access car park has parking for 15 cars. You will need to walk 30 minutes along a formed road to the bush line. From here, it is another 15 minutes until you reach Tangihua Lions Lodge, a good orientation point for tracks and walks in the forest.
You can get into Tangihua Forest from Tangihua Road at the northern end of the forest, but this access crosses private farmland and is not a legal access. You must obtain permission to cross private land - please contact the Whangarei Area Office prior to your trip.
