The Upukerora River is a river in New Zealand, flowing into Lake Te Anau north of Te Anau township.
History
[edit]The name Upukerora River is derived from a variation of the Māori name for the New Zealand trout pike, which is known as Upokororo in the Māori language. However, the Māori refer to the river as Marakura.[1]
