Swimming

Residents and visitors to the Hutt Valley enjoy cooling off in the Hutt River during the warmer months. There are several good swimming holes:

  • just north of Fraser Park off Taita Drive
  • south of SIlverstream Bridges near the old willow nursery
  • at the confluence of the Hutt and Whakatikei Rivers
  • at the confluence of the Hutt and Akatarawa Rivers

Never swim alone and always check the river for submerged rocks or logs.
