The Drake River is a river of New Zealand. It is located in southern Westland, and flows entirely within the Mount Aspiring National Park.[1] The river follows a southerly course for seven kilometres before turning northeast to flow another five kilometres before reaching the Waiatoto River.[2]
The tributaries of the river were probably surveyed and named by Mueller in 1885.[3]
There is potential for a 30 MW power-generating plant at the junction of the Drake and Waiatoto Rivers.[4]
