Turangi is situated on the southern shores of New Zealand's greatest lake, Lake Taupo. The township lies on the banks of the Tongariro River where it enters the Lake, feeding clear fresh mountain water into Lake Taupo, at the "Source of Great Lake Taupo".

Built on the banks of the Tongariro River, Turangi and its surrounding countryside offers challenging hunting, trout fishing, mountain biking, hiking or leisurely bush walks, white water rafting, kayaking, sight seeing, skiing on the nearby mountains and much more!

This particular sign is situated on the western SH41 entrance to town. Identical signs are on the southern Desert Rd and northern SH1 approaches also.
Type of community: Town

Visit Instructions:
More pictures of the sign would be great. Try and take a picture of yourself with it if you can!
