Rangitaiki River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rangitaiki River is the longest river in the Bay of Plenty region in New Zealand's North Island. It is 155 kilometres in length, and rises inland from northern Hawke Bay to the east of the Kaingaroa Forest.
It flows in a generally northeastward direction, passing through the town of Murupara and skirting close to the western edge of Te Urewera National Park before turning northwards, passing into the Bay of Plenty close to the town of Edgecumbe, which stands on its banks.
Note: The Rangitaiki River should not be confused with the Rangitikei River, another of New Zealand's larger rivers, which flows through the southwestern North Island.
