General information
Waireinga/Bridal Veil Falls is subject to very high public visitation (55,000 visitors per year). As it is only a small reserve (217 ha), the use of firearms at this location has caused distress to members of the public, and has therefore been set aside for bow hunting only.
Email the Waikato Area Office for more information about a permit for this area: waikatopermits@doc.govt.nz.
