Jacobs River (New Zealand)

The Jacobs River or Makawhio River is located some 30 kilometres south of Fox Glacier in South Westland, New Zealand. From its headwaters near Fettes Peak below the Hooker Range it flows in a westerly direction to enter the Tasman Sea near Hunt's Beach. Its tributaries include Jumbo Creek and Pavo Creek. Just upstream from the bridge is Borat Flat.

For the locality where State Highway 6 crosses the river, see Jacobs River, New Zealand.
