Trout Pool Falls

Trout Pool Falls is a waterfall on the Kaituna River in the Ōkere Falls Scenic Reserve, Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand.

It sits at the downstream end of the upper gorge and is accessible via the Okere Falls Track, which also passes the notable Okere Falls and Tutea Falls.

Rated Class V to V+ by paddlers, Trout Pool Falls carries a powerful hydraulic that makes it a serious hazard, and most commercial rafting groups take out on river left just above the drop.

The calm pool below the falls is a well-known fishing and swimming spot where trout can be seen holding against the current.
