Everything about Motu River totally explained
Motu River is a major waterway in the eastern portion of the
North Island of
New Zealand. It rises on the southern side of the
Raukumara Range south of
Opotiki, heads east and cuts its way through the range (where it receives important tributaries) and empties into the
Bay of Plenty to the north.
The Māori name
Mōtu means
cut off,
isolated. This refers to the district around the headwaters, which since ancient times has been considered to be in the middle of nowhere because of the thickness of the forests which surrounded it.
The river passes through mostly uninhabited hill country, very steep and still thickly covered in rainforest. It is much used for adventure tourism (jet-boating and white-water rafting). A mid-20th century proposal to dam the river for hydroelectricity was rejected.
