Hopkins River (New Zealand)
Hopkins River, New Zealand
The Hopkins River is in the central South Island of New Zealand.[1] It flows south for 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the Southern Alps into the northern end of Lake Ohau in the Mackenzie Country.[2]
Its headwaters, on the southern slopes of Mount Hopkins, form the northernmost point of Otago, and the river's braided valley is part of the border between Otago and Canterbury.[3][4][5] The river's main tributary is the Dobson River.[6]
