The Whanganui National Park is a national park located in the North Island of New Zealand. Established in 1986,[1] it covers an area of 742 km2 bordering the Whanganui River.[2] It incorporates areas of Crown land, former state forest and a number of former reserves. The river itself is not part of the park, but is a popular paddling route titled the Whanganui Journey, one of New Zealand's "Great Walks".[3][4] The New Zealand Department of Conservation highlights Whanganui National Park as being the National Park most closely tied to human settlement.[5]
