The Carrick River is a river of Fiordland, close to the southwesternmost point of New Zealand's South Island.[1] Its course is predominantly southward, and passes through numerous small lakes, most notably Lake Victor, before reaching the sea at the Islet Cove of Te Korowhakaunu / Kanáris Sound.
The river is named after the New Zealand journalist Robert Carrick (1832–1914).[1]
