Mataura River

 

Mataura River

The Mataura River is in the Southland region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is 190 kilometres in length.

The river's headwaters are located in mountains to the south of Lake Wakatipu. From there it flows southeast towards Gore, where it turns southward. It then passes through the town of Mataura, and enters the Pacific Ocean at Toetoes Bay on the southern coast of the South Island.

The Mataura is renowned as a source of brown trout, and is a popular fishing venue.
