The Kaukapakapa River is a river of New Zealand's North Island. It flows west, reaching the southernmost point of the Kaipara Harbour close to the town of Helensville. The small township of Kaukapakapa lies on the banks of the river, some 5km (03miles) from its mouth.
The Kaukapakapa River flows westward through farmland and the township of Kaukapakapa, before entering the Kaipara River near the mouth of the Kaipara River.[1]
