The Whau River is the second waterway you cross travelling west on State Highway 16 from central Auckland. It flows into the Waitematā Harbour. Long before the motorway, waka travelled up the Whau River and were hauled over land at New Lynn along the portage route linking the Waitematā and Manukau Harbours. Today, Te Whau Pathway follows much of this historic route. When complete, it will run along the Whau River to New Lynn, then continue by protected paths to Green Bay and the Manukau Harbour.
