Awatere River (Gisborne)
For the larger river in the South Island, see Awatere River.
The Awatere River is a river in the Gisborne region of the North island of New Zealand. The Awatere is formed by the confluence of the Kopuapounamu River and the Taurangakautuku River and enters the Pacific Ocean just east of Te Araroa.
State Highway 35 runs down the valley of the Awatere for much of the river's length.
