This production pine forest is open to the public from 7am to 6pm. In the centre is an iron sands mine connected to the nearby steelmill, although there is no noise and minimal activity in the forest itself. For more details about the forest including a trail map that I recommend using, visit this website.
Its quite a cool place to explore with lots of different terrain. Fires are banned and overnight stays are a no no but its definitely worthy of a day trip.
Has a tent campsite, toillets, a sheltered gazebo for cooking and eating and sleeping in a pinch. River nearby with possible fish (I had no luck!)
Well maintained wooden walkway towards the beach/swamp (pararaha valley track), fantastic view with cliffs all around. Very Jurassic Park!
