Four people have been rescued as rising rivers put trampers in danger in Mt Aspiring National Park near Wanaka.
A rescue team was scrambled to Siberia Hut after Siberia Stream became dangerous to cross about 9.30am.
A party of three who had activated their personal locator beacon were helped to safety, police said.
Wanaka Search and Rescue, the Rescue Co-ordination Centre and local police were back in action shortly before noon to rescue an individual who was unable to cross Makarora River.
