Oakura River below SH45
Corbett Park is a popular beach reserve used for swimming, fishing, picnicking and whitebaiting (in season).
For all sites, the Council advises :
Avoid for three days after heavy rain, if the river is high, or if you cannot see the bottom clearly.
Recreational bathing surveys over the last two summers 92% (2018-2019) and 100% (2019-2020) of samples met the freshwater microbiological water quality guidelines prepared by the Ministry of Environment in conjunction with the Ministry of Health (MfE, 2003) and did not exceed the ‘Action’ level (>550 E.coli cfu/100mls).
