Rakiura National Park
Rakiura National Park Review
In spring 2002, about 85% of Stewart Island was designated as Rakiura National Park. The park encompasses areas that were formerly nature reserves and the like. More than 200 walking trails thread through the park, and a dozen huts give shelter for overnight stays.
Department of Conservation. For information on Rakiura as well as the rest of Stewart Island, contact the Department of Conservation, or check out the Stewart Island Web site (www.stewartisland.co.nz).
