Kaituna River

The Kaituna is a classic river run, and slalom site due to the continuous water. The river flows out of a chain of lakes, meaning their will always be some flow, however the level does depend on the lake level.The site is under the road bridge in Okere falls village about 20 km from Rotorua on the highway to Tauranga, oppersite trout Pool Rd . It has about 35 permanent gates hanging and is good for all types of training from beginner to international and you can also recirculate around the pools or use the whole site for endurance loops. Due to the lake flow the water is warm all year round.the river trip is also great, check out some of the archived posts on the home page to see some photos, it has 3 large waterfalls and there are also plenty of lakes to paddle. There is a campground a short paddle from the course and plenty of accommodation in Rotorua.
