The Awaroa River is a river in the Ōtorohanga District on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. It flows north from its source near Te Koraha through Hauturu to Kawhia Harbour.[1] The river passes through both pasture and indigenous forest.[2] Over half of the river is in forest.[3]

The name translates to "long river".[4] It is a name used by 33 other locations,[5] including two waterways in Northland (Awaroa River and another, rather longer, flowing into the Wairoa River), a river north of Kaiteriteri[5] and 9 in Waikato Region (Awaroa River and 2 streams, flowing into the Waikato,[6] one flowing into Lake Whangape, another into Lake Waahi, another stream flowing into the Piako River, 2 Awaroa Streams in Coromandel, one flowing into Kennedy Bay[5] and a tributary of the Opitonui River).[7]

The bridge carrying Harbour Road over the river was originally built in 1930.[8] In 1922 a launch ran from Kawhia to Awaroa, with a coach connection to Ōtorohanga.[9]

Veronica scopulorum ‘Awaroa’ is a naturally uncommon hebe, endemic to about half a dozen limestone outcrops in the head waters of the Awaroa River and northern Taumatatotara Range.[10] It is threatened by weed invasion, forest degradation and goat and possum browse.[11]

Awaroa Scenic Reserve, at the river's estuary,[12] covers Шаблон:Cvt[13] and has the fern Ophioglossum coriaceum, the orchid Bulbophyllum tuberculatum and the mistletoe Peraxilla tetrapetala.[14] The estuary upstream from Uenukutuhatu Rock has mangrove, seagrass, freshwater marsh clubrush and regenerating bush, with invasive black locust trees.[15]

Some coal was discovered in the valley in 1903,[16] but its quality was too poor to mine.[17]

The river was once used for navigation; in 1924 launch owners asked for willows to be removed.[18] A 1981 report said the willows didn't hinder navigation, but launches could only go as far as the road bridge.[19]
