The Mangapiko Stream is mostly a low-lying peat stream that flows through the heart of the Waipa district, Waikato. The stream begins near the summit of Mt Maungatautari and then weaves westward through low-lying dairy farmland and eventually becomes the tributary of the Waipā River in Pirongia.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "winding stream" for Mangapiko.[1]
The stream passes through Te Awamutu ("the river's end" in Maori) and meets with its main tributary the Mangaohoe Stream, which also starts near the summit of Mt Maungatautari.
There are also two other streams in Waikato with the same name; one flows off the Kaimai to enter the Waihou to the east of Matamata,[2] the other flows under Highway 22 to reach Lake Whangape via the Awaroa Stream.[3]
