Watitaanga Road

4WD track in the Taranaki region

Waitaanga Road is a long Taranaki gravel route through native forest to a 550m saddle, an easy back country drive suited to most vehicles.

(2)

Threading deep into the Waitaanga Forest in eastern Taranaki, this long gravel road runs through native bush the whole way. It climbs to a saddle at 550m, where the trees open up a little and you get a look out over the back country.

The driving is easy and enjoyable, a well-formed gravel road

A favourite among people poking around Taranaki's quieter back roads. Take it slowly, enjoy the leafy, remote feel as the road winds through the trees and over the saddle.
