About 4 km (2 mi) above its confluence with the Mokau the river is bridged by SH3.[2] The river at that point is too polluted for swimming.[3]
One of its upper tributaries is the Waitanguru Stream,[4] which has Waitanguru Falls on it.[5]
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "stream of oratory" for Mangaotaki.[6]
