Taihape has been the gumboot capital of New Zealand since 1985, when locals launched Gumboot Day and built the corrugated-iron gumboot that still greets visitors at the edge of town. It grew as a railway town on the North Island Main Trunk and now serves the sheep and beef stations of the upper Rangitīkei. The Rangitīkei River carves through papa cliffs and gorges nearby, drawing rafters and anglers.
