Hatea River
The Hātea River begins as the Waitaua Stream just north of Kamo, and flows southeast through Tikipunga and Mair Park into Whangarei Harbour. This short river, 17 km long, has a mixture of land uses in the catchment including urban, native forest and pastoral land.
The Hātea River has generally good water quality. Whangarei Falls is a popular swimming site but periodic faecal contamination from wildfowl and livestock can occasionally make the falls unsuitable for swimming.
