The Matarawa Stream is a small stream which runs through Kowhai Park and Whanganui East. There is a pleasant walkway taking you through the park and along the water's edge.

Rare freshwater mussels can still be found in the stream, along with an abundance of whitebait.

Try your hand at whitebaiting and see if you can catch enough to make some delicious whitebait fritters for tonight's dinner.

Take your whitebaiting gear down to the stream and make use of a spot that is a favorite with locals. Whitebait fritters are a Kiwi delicacy and cost an arm and leg to buy so why not catch your own!
