The Awakino River is a river of the Kaipara District in Northland Region. It flows 38 km (24 mi),[2] generally south from the Awakino Stream, which rises on the Tutāmoe Range, to reach the Wairoa River on the eastern edge of Dargaville.[3] The river is crossed by SH14[4] and the mothballed Dargaville Branch railway.[5]
