About the walks
Owned and managed by Tauranga City Council, McLaren Falls consists of 190 hectares of lakeland park with one of the best botanical collections of trees in the North Island, with extensive walkways throughout.
The park is popular for walking, camping, fishing, kayaking, disc golf, picnics and much more.
One of the highlights of the park is the waterfall track where you can see glowworms after dusk. Enjoy a short, easy stroll to the picturesque waterfall and spot the glowworms on either side of the track. Part of the waterfall track is also wheelchair and mobility scooter friendly.
