The
Bowen River is a river in
northern Fiordland, New Zealand.
The river runs
south for 8 km, before flowing from a hanging valley to become the
162 m Lady Bowen Falls, and draining into the head of Milford Sound. The
falls are named for Diamantina Bowen, wife of George Bowen, the fifth Governor
of New Zealand. The falls provide electricity for the Milford Sound settlement
by feeding a small hydroelectric scheme, and are also the water source for the
settlement.
