Malaya Vishera River

The Malaya Vishera flows through Malaya Vishera and partly Borovichi districts into the Lovat. A forest river with drops, sand bars and sparse bank settlements. Spring and after rain raise levels and open rapid sections. Popular with local anglers: perch, pike, bream and others. Small groups paddle rafts and boats — not mass rafting but quiet forest water with village stops. Boggy banks, midges and ticks in forest — typical northern scenery without promenades. Quiet, pine scent and distance from major roads. Fit into a northern oblast loop between Malaya Vishera town and forest villages. A water route for self-reliant travellers, not a Novgorod excursion tour.
