During the summer months, Roto Kōhatu gets extremely crowded. If you're not a big fan of crowds, avoid weekend days and try visiting in the evening or during the week.
The main car park, accessed off Outlook Place, caters for approximately 100 vehicles with an overflow car park providing an extra 50 spaces. We encourage carpooling where possible to minimise traffic congestion.
Please be considerate of others when visiting Roto Kohatu.
The reserve is a popular place for a range of outdoor activities including walking, swimming and kayaking.
