The Turakina River is a river of the southwestern North Island of New Zealand. It flows generally southwestward from its source south of Waiouru ,[1] roughly paralleling the larger Whangaehu River , and reaches the Tasman Sea 20 kilometres (12 mi ) southeast of Whanganui .[2]
The river flows near Papanui Junction and Turakina . Pā sites existed at Te Maire, Pukemata, Toakaituna, and Maipaua.[3] Donald McLean arranged signing of the Rangitīkei–Turakina deed with some of the owners on 15 May 1849,[4] when The Crown claimed the Rangitīkei Block.[5] Scottish settlers arrived from the late 1860s.[6]
Floods on the Turakina are frequent, including 1897,[7] 1920,[8] 1939,[9] 1940,[10] 2013,[11] 2015,[12] 2017[13] and 2021.[14]
Te Araroa long-distance walkway crosses the river at the beach at Koitiata at low tide.[15] The outlet of the river changes frequently, moving up to 4.5 km (3 mi ) along the lagoon , which is formed by a sand bar .[16] [17] [2] In 1997 an outlet was dug to reduce flooding.[18] [19]
12% of samples taken at the lagoon in 5 years to 2022 found E. coli levels too high for swimming.[20] 81.1% of land in the catchment is used for animal grazing. Native bush covers only 8.5%.[1]
Redfin bully live in the river.[1]
Turakina Valley Road closely follows the river for 104 km (65 mi ) between Tangiwai and Turakina.[21] Much of it is a gravel road .[22]
The river is crossed by SH3 and by the Marton–New Plymouth railway .[2]
