The Wapoga River is a river in northern New Guinea, Central Papua, Indonesia.[4] [5] It is a tributary of the Warenai River. The Wapoga River basin and surrounding mountains were surveyed by a team of scientists organized by Conservation International in 1998.[6] The rainbowfish Glossolepis leggetti and Melanotaenia rubripinnis are only known from this river system.
The Keuw language is spoken within the watershed of the Wapoga River.[7]
