Agrumatue is a river in the Upper East Region, Ghana. [1] It flows between the cities Bolgatanga and Zuarungu and is also the border between the Bolgatanga Municipal District and the Bolgatanga East District. The river is crossed by N11 road. [2]

During the dry season the river is dry. However near Bolgatanga there is a dam which holds back some water. Due to this dam agricultural activities are even possible during the dry season.
