Many of our walking and tramping tracks pass over or go close to private land. Others are in national or regional parks. We’re lucky to have the freedom to explore many parts of New Zealand but there are some restrictions too. For example, dogs are not allowed to enter national parks because of the risk to our natural flora and fauna.
For your own safety and for the safety of others, please read notices like these and follow the instructions. If you’re unsure about what to do, ask a local person or the staff at the nearest information centre.
In our national parks you'll see staff wearing Department of Conservation uniforms. They can help you with any advice and answer your questions.
