The Waianakarua River rises in the Horse Range and Kakaunui Mountains in North Otago. The catchment is 262 km2 consisting of extensively grazed grasslands and scrub, native forest, and plantation forestry. Land use in the lower catchment is more intensive, with dairy farms operating near the mouth of the river and on the South Branch upstream of State Highway 1 (SH1).
