The Arnst River in New Zealand is a tributary of the Travers River, which itself flows into Lake Rotoiti, in Nelson Lakes National Park.[1][2]

The park is at the northern end of the South Island of New Zealand.[3] The Arnst River is named after the champion rower Jacob Diedrich Arnst, known as Richard Arnst or Dick Arnst.[2]
