The Waipoua River and Ruamahanga River flow along two sides of the reserve with excellent picnic spots along the banks. There’s heaps of birdlife at Henley Lake too - someone recorded over 72 different species of birds. 

Check out the Henley Lake active space that includes a fenced playground area for children with accessible play equipment for those with mobility constraints or disabilities, an obstacle course, and bright green workout equipment that creates a space where everyone can have fun and get active!
