Kaituna River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kaituna River is located in northern New Zealand. It is the outflow from Lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti, and flows northwards for 45 kilometres, emptying into the Bay of Plenty near Te Puke. It was the subject of a claim concerning the effluent flowing down the river from Lake Rotorua, which resulted in movement to a land treatment system.
The upper section of the Kaituna offers some of the best white-water kayaking and rafting in the world, containing the highest commercially rafted waterfall (7 meters) in the world. It is also famous for its trout fishing.
