Renowned for its pristine beauty, the river winds through rugged landscapes and dense native bush, forming a vital part of the area’s ecosystem. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for tramping, fishing, and camping, particularly in the Ōrongorongo Valley, which is part of the Remutaka Forest Park.
