The Awakino River is a river located in the North Island of New Zealand. It has been described as one of the great rivers in the North Island providing top-quality backcountry fishing. Awakino township lies on its river banks.[1] It rises on peaks of up to 762 m (2,500 ft) in the Herangi Range[2] and flows 75 km (47 mi),[3] initially southerly and then through Awakino Gorge in a south-westerly direction.[4]

River route

The river rises in the rugged bush country of the King Country and flows south via the settlement of Mahoenui from where it runs alongside State Highway 3 to the Tasman Sea at Awakino.
