The Ofin River is an easterly-flowing waterway in Ghana. It flows through the Tano Ofin Reserve in Ghana's Atwima Mponua District.[1]
The Ofin riverbed is 90 metres above mean sea level. The Ofin has cut steep side channels, average depth 12–15 metres, into the rolling terrain over which it flows.[1]
The Ofin and the Pra rivers form the boundary between Ghana's Ashanti region and Central region. Dunkwa-on-Offin is a major town on the river.[1]
Gold is mined from the river's sediment.[2][3]
Fauna
[edit | edit source]Native species include the clarias agboyiensis, a benign type of airbreathing catfish.[4] The Barekese Dam is located on its course.
