Waikato River

Longest river in New Zealand

The Waikato River is the longest in New Zealand, running for 425 kilometres (264 mi) through the North Island. It starts on the eastern slopes of Mount Ruapehu, joining the Tongariro River system and flowing through Lake Taupō, New Zealand's largest lake. It then drains Taupō at the lake's northeastern edge, creates the Huka Falls, and flows northwest through the Waikato Plains.
