The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Dry River is a river in the extreme southeast of the North Island of New Zealand. It feeds into the Ruamāhanga River to the southwest of Martinborough. The headwaters are in the Haurangi Forest Park, and its eventual outflow (via the Ruamāhanga River) is into Cook Strait at Palliser Bay. Dry River was the name of a sheep station about 1877, which later was renamed Dyerville. A vineyard called Dry River was established in the area in 1979.

Flows through: New Zealand.
