Recreation information has moved to the "Can I Swim Here?" section of LAWA
The Walker Road access point on the Tukituki River east of Waipawa is a popular swimming and recreational spot, and attracts fishers as well. It is downstream of the confluence of the Tukituki and Waipawa Rivers.
Due to ongoing access issues for the 2023-24 Recreational Water Quality Monitoring season, sampling will be undertaken downstream at Tukituki River at Tamumu Bridge.
The Tukituki at Walker Rd is a cobble dominated site. This area is popular with fishermen and also attracts swimmers and walkers during the summer months.
