Ohinetamatea River facts for kids

The Ohinetamatea River is a river in the Westland District of New Zealand. It is also known as Saltwater Creek in the lower reaches.

The river rises on the north flank of the Copland Range and flows generally northward until it reaches the valley of the Cook River and turns westward. There is a 72 metres (236 ft) high waterfall at 700 metres (2,300 ft) elevation. The river passes to the south of an ancient glacial moraine which separates its lower reaches from the Cook River valley.
