Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park, Conservation park in Bay of Plenty region, New Zealand.

Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park covers 562 km² of podocarp forest centred on Minginui, with rimu, tōtara, kahikatea, mataī and miro, and beech at higher elevations. It has 175 km of tracks and 9 huts, and the unsealed River Road leads to a carpark at the start of short walks to Waiatiu Falls, Arohaki Lagoon, Te Whaiti-Nui-A-Toi Canyon and Whirinaki Falls.

The Whirinaki valley has been home to the Ngāti Whare iwi. From the late 1950s to the early 1980s, parts of the forest were logged and replanted with exotic pines, damaging the podocarp ecosystem. Conservation protests in the 1970s led to the area being designated a Forest Park in 1984, and in 1993 it came under the Conservation Act 1987, administered by the Department of Conservation. A 2010 co-governance agreement with Ngāti Whare included a regeneration project of 640 ha of exotic pine back to native forest.

The name Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne means "the abundance of Tāne", the Māori god of the forest. The valley of the Whirinaki River and Te Whāiti Nui-a-Toi have always been home to the Ngāti Whare iwi, and the park is administered jointly by the Department of Conservation and Ngāti Whare. A 2010 co-governance agreement included a Crown apology and a joint project to regenerate 640 ha of exotic pine back to podocarp forest, with David Bellamy as patron.

Access is via the unsealed River Road, which leads to a carpark where many short walks begin, including routes to Waiatiu Falls, Arohaki Lagoon, Te Whaiti-Nui-A-Toi Canyon and Whirinaki Falls. The park has 175 km of tracks and 9 huts, and the 35 km Moerangi Track, graded 3 for mountain bikes, takes about 5 to 6 hours with three huts along it.

Arohaki Lagoon is rain-fed and often alive with Southern Bell Frogs, not rare birds. It lies at the end of a short walk from the unsealed River Road carpark, one of four short walks there alongside Waiatiu Falls, Te Whaiti-Nui-A-Toi Canyon and Whirinaki Falls.
