Owhango is a quiet country town, perfectly positioned to explore the beautiful Tongariro Forest and stunning Whanganui National Park. Once a Mill town, milling native timbers from around the local area, the village is one of the most picturesque in New Zealand with a backdrop of native forest and Mount Ruapehu.

The native forest is part of the Ohinetonga Scenic Reserve, with its old growth native forest giants and a pretty lagoon accessible from a looped walking track. A road through the reserve leads down to the old logging bridge over the Whakapapa River with its picnic spots and superb swimming pools containing rainbow and brown trout.

Beyond the bridge is the vast expanse of Tongariro Forest and one of New Zealand's most popular mountain bike rides, the "42 Traverse". The forest also has excellent tramping, camping and deer hunting opportunities.
