River in Auckland Region, New Zealand
Piha Stream is a stream of the Auckland Region of New Zealand 's North Island . It flows westwards from its sources in the Waitākere Ranges through Piha village, and enters the Tasman Sea south of Lion Rock .
Geography [ edit ]
The stream begins in the Waitākere Ranges near the junction of Piha Road and Anawhata Road. It flows westwards towards the Tasman Sea , joined by a number of tributaries: Centennial Stream, McKenzie Stream, Maungaroa Stream, Glen Esk Stream, Slipper Gully and Ingram Stream.[1] [2] [3]
Biodiversity [ edit ]
The stream is a known habitat for the shortjaw kōkopu and giant kōkopu ,[4] pouched lamprey .[5]
History [ edit ]
The stream is in the rohe of Te Kawerau ā Maki , and was given the name Waiokahu Rakataura of the Tainui [6] [7] Tāmaki Māori to catch piharau (lampreys) as they ascended from the ocean.[1]
The Black Rock Dam was built around the year 1910 on the Piha Stream, as a driving dam for kauri logging.[8]
In 2008, a new footbridge was constructed across the Piha Stream. Designed by local artist Mandy Patmore, the bridge depicts the lifecycle of the New Zealand longfin eel .[9] [10]
Recreation [ edit ]
The Piha canyon is a place where abseiling can be done.[2]
