Narew National Park

Narew National Park is a National Park in Podlaskie Voivodeship, north-eastern Poland, created in 1996.

The park is a 35 kilometres section of the Narew River. It is a swampy valley with moraine hills typical of a braided river. Depending on the season and the level of the water table, several riparian area ecosystems are available including swamps, tussocks with surrounding black alder and white willow forested areas. The total area of the Park is 73.5 square kilometres, of which only 20.57 square kilometres is state-owned, the balance being privately held.

The park covers the Upper Narew Valley, a swampy area between the towns of Suraz and Rzedziany. Around 90% of Park’s area are either swamps or waters with the Narew as the main river, which splits in the area into many river beds, but also numerous smaller rivers, such as Liza, Szeroka Struga, Awissa, Kurówka, Kowalówka, Turośnianka…
