One of the region's major rivers, it flows south from the slopes of Mount Taraponui in the Maungaharuru Range before turning east to reach Hawke Bay {{convert|10|km|mi|0}} north of Napier. State Highway 5 follows the lower course of the river for several kilometres close to the settlement of Eskdale.[1] The river is probably named after the Esk River in southern Scotland and north-west England.[2] The lower {{convert|19|km|mi|0}} of the Esk can be suitable for whitewater canoeing, but the flow needs to be above normal.[3] Brown and rainbow trout are available in the river, but fishing is restricted.[4] The southern stretch of the river forms the northern boundary for urban development in Napier.[5] Hukarere Girls' College is located near the Esk River.[6] Chardonnay and red wine grapes are grown in the Esk River valley.[7]See also
