Yowaka River, a perennial river of the Pambula River catchment, is located in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.
Yowaka River rises on the eastern slopes of the Bold Granite Range, southeast of Wyndham and flows generally south, east, and then northeast, joined by one minor tributary before reaching its confluence with the Pambula River within Pambula Lake. The river descends over its course.[1]
The Princes Highway crosses the river between Pambula and Eden[1] via the heritage-listed Greigs Flat bridge.[2]
