Freshwater River
The Freshwater River is the longest river on Stewart Island, the third largest of New Zealand's islands. It arises close to the island's northwestern point, from which it is separated by a ridge, and flows southeastward for 25 kilometres before reaching the Paterson Inlet on the island's central east coast.Freshwater River
