Partly situated in the Turon National Park,[3] the river is host to numerous recreational and tourist activities such as horse riding, gold panning, canoeing, camping, and seasonal fishing. GeographyThe Turon River rises on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in the Capertee Valley, west of Ben Bullen, and flows generally to the north west and then west, joined by the Crudine River, and then forms its confluence with the Macquarie River south west of Hill End; dropping {{convert|372|m}} over the course of its {{convert|117|km}} length. The upper reaches of the Turon River are partly bound by Turon National Park, established in 2002, while the lower reaches open onto private grazing property. Gold rushThe Turon River is well renowned because it was the site of one of Australia's first alluvial gold rushes.[4] During the gold rush Chinese migrant workers built a water race to bring water to mining operations along sections of the Turon River. Many parts of the race can still be seen today, such as at Turon Gates.[5] The Turon River{{where?|date=January 2013}} was the site of violence between miners and licensing authorities during the gold rush.{{Citation needed|date=March 2007}} See also{{stack|{{portal|New South Wales}}}}
