Kahurangi National Park, formerly the North West Nelson State Forest Park, is New Zealand's newest and second largest National Park. Kahurangi is vast. It features large limestone mountains, excellent rafting on the Karamea river, giant carnivorous land snails and numerous walking tracks including the Heaphy Track. It also contains some of the longest/deepest known cave systems in the Southern Hemisphere. Awesome tramping! Unfortunately, some contentious mining and water rights still threaten its future.
