The Waipara River is monitored for recreational water quality during the summer months from a constructed swimming hole, located at the Waipara Adventure Centre, just North of SH1.
This swimming hole is on the southern side of the river. It is surrounded by willows and some scrub. While the river can have quite low flows in summer.
