Dart River, New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dart River, Te Awa Wakatipu in Māori language, flows through rugged forested country in the southwestern South Island of New Zealand. Partly in Mount Aspiring National Park, it flows southwards for 60 kilometres from its headwaters in the Southern Alps, eventually flowing into the northern end of Lake Wakatipu near Glenorchy. Several popular tramping tracks are found nearby, notably the Rees-Dart Track, which follows the valley of the Dart and the nearby Rees River.
