The Rakaia River is a large river located on the South Island of New Zealand. It is the longest braided river in the country and flows for approximately 150 kilometers through the Canterbury Plains before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. The river is known for its distinctive braided channels, which are formed when the river splits into multiple smaller channels as it flows over its floodplain. The Rakaia River is an important recreational and economic resource in the region and is popular for activities such as fishing, rafting, and boating. The river is also home to a variety of plant and animal species, including native fish and birds. The town of Rakaia, which is located on the banks of the river, is the largest settlement in the area and is a popular base for tourists visiting the region.
