Getting there
Tangihua Forest is located halfway between Whangarei on Northland's east coast and Dargaville on the west coast. 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.
This track leaves the road just inside the bush line taking you up to an old logging track. Turn left onto the logging track. Keep an eye out for the tree stumps of kauri logged in the past.
The track leads to the access road. Turn left to return to the car park or right to get to the Tangihua Lions Lodge.
