Brown River (Marlborough)

The Brown River is a river located in the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island. It is a tributary of the Wairau River. The river's catchment is characterized by steep, forested terrain, and the river itself is known for its brown-tinted water, likely due to tannins leached from the surrounding vegetation. The river is relatively small but plays a role in the local hydrology of the Wairau River system. Its location within the Marlborough region places it within an area also known for viticulture and scenic landscapes. Information regarding specific recreational activities (such as fishing or kayaking) on the Brown River is limited, though the broader Wairau River system offers such opportunities.
