The Clyde River, New Zealand is a river of New Zealand, one of Canterbury's braided rivers.[1] It is formed from the confluence of the Frances River and McCoy Stream, flowing southwest to join with the Havelock River and Lawrence River to form the Rangitata River.
The river sparked a gold rush in the late 1800s.[2]
