There are several forest parks in New Zealands and Victoria Forest Park is probably the biggest one. With are over 209,000 hectares, this large forest park contains some of New Zealands’s finest beach forest and mining and gold fields. In here you can walk along old mining tracks, tramping, climbing, hunting, fishing, camping, four wheel drive and horse riding.

Over 250 kilometers of walks and tracks available for you to enjoy and you can also follow some historic trails. In here you can go for hunting, fishing, river side camping and picnicking.

The last park I will mention here in my posting is Catlins Forest Park with 58,131 hectares wide.

A variety of walks and tracks lead through the forest and along a rugged coastline of cliffs, bays and sea caves where penguins, seals and dolphins are often seen.
