Mangahuia Wetlands were constructed in 1997 by local farmer Mike Bourke. Surrounding the water water are hundreds of exotic and native shrubs and trees, as well as many different varieties of bird life and water foul. Water plants, including varieties of water lilies and irises.
Entrance to the wetlands is via a signposted gate on Main South Road. Although private property the wetlands are open to the public to visit and you can drive in to a picnic table and turning area if the ground conditions allow. Please respect the land, lakes, trees and bird life.
Enjoy finding your way to the island to collect a smiley! You are looking for a 500ml screw top plastic jar. You do not need to get your feet wet.
