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

Native species include the clarias agboyiensis, a benign type of airbreathing catfish.[4] The Barekese Dam is located on its course.
