Hakatere Conservation Park, Conservation park in Ashburton District, New Zealand
Located between Rakaia and Rangitata Rivers, Hakatere Conservation Park spans 60,000 hectares of mountains, tussocklands, beech forests, and lakes.
The park includes historical evidence of pastoral farming through structures like the Lake Emma hut and Hakatere Station buildings.
The area holds significance for Ngai Tahu people, who used seasonal trails for gathering resources like eels, birds, and native plants.
Multiple entry points exist through Ashburton Gorge Road, Hakatere Potts Road, Hakatere Heron Road, and Blackford Road.
The conservation area protects New Zealand's largest complex of kettlehole wetlands, which support rare plant species including the pygmy forget-me-not.
