The Fox River (originally the Potikohua River[1]) is a river in the Buller District of New Zealand. It arises in the Paparoa Range near Mount Dewar and flows north-west through the Paparoa National Park to the Tasman Sea at Woodpecker Bay.[2] The river passes through a spectacular gorge. The northern branch of the river has limestone caves containing stalactite and stalagmite formations.
