The Narewka River – kayaking trips

The Narewka is one of the most beautiful rivers in Podlasie – wild, winding and surprisingly clean. It flows through the Białowieża Forest and its buffer zone, offering paddlers real contact with nature.

River characteristics

The Narewka is about 80 km long and is a right-bank tributary of the Narew. It flows slowly, gently winding through meadows and forests. The riverbed is sandy, gravelly in places; the depth usually doesn't exceed 1–2 metres, which makes it safe even for beginner paddlers.
