Te Hoiere/Pelorus River at Pelorus Bridge
A stunning river swimming area beneath a historic swing bridge with clear freshwater flowing through a scenic gorge. Intermediate swimmers enjoy the popular pool area with moderate current and rocky surroundings; the bridge provides easy access and parking. The water is cold year-round, so quick acclimatization is important despite the scenic beauty.
