The Manuherikia River is located in the Otago region of New Zealand. It flows for approximately 80 kilometers, originating from the Hawkdun Range and eventually joining the Clutha River. The river is known for its clear waters and scenic landscapes, making it a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing and kayaking. The river's basin is rich in history, particularly during the Gold Rush era in the 1860s, when it attracted many prospectors. Today, the surrounding area is also recognized for its agricultural significance, with vineyards and farms thriving along its banks.
