Orari River at Orari Gorge
Peel Forest, Canterbury, New Zealand
The Orari Gorge Track follows an old bush tramway from the carpark close to the campground through a scenic reserve before heading back to the carpark. The campground uses a self-registration system to pay for overnight stays. Amenities include a picnic area, tap water and toilets. There are many hidden swimming holes along the river and it is also a great trout fishing spot. The Orari River Protection Group has hosted many events along the river. Check out their facebook page for more information.
