The rivers of the Sverdlovsk region have not yet become a "Mecca" for tourists. The laid routes of varying difficulty and length attract travelers from all over the country. With the approaches to convenient places on the coast, everything is not so rosy. Infrastructure is lagging behind potential.
Tavda is considered one of the most fishy ones. To relax comfortably on the banks of the Lozva, you will have to buy a ticket: there are many restrictions and prohibitions for “savage” tourists in the area. Pyshma and Rezh are famous for their natural attractions. On their shores, ecological and national parks are organized, as well as museums that tell about the waterways of the region and not only.

Iset
The river of the Sverdlovsk, Kurgan and Tyumen regions. The Iset flows out of the lake of the same name, located 25 km from Yekaterinburg, and flows into the Tobol.

A number of species, including tench and burbot, come here to spawn.
The length of the river is 606 km, in the Sverdlovsk region - 200 km.

Tagil
The source of the river is Mount Pass. It is a tributary of Tura. The upper reaches are characterized by the presence of rapids, while the lower reaches are characterized by a winding channel. The bottom is muddy, which attracts some species of fish. The bite is heterogeneous throughout Tagil. When rafting, you need to take into account the treachery of the route: some rapids are poorly visible from the water. There are special pitches on the coast for setting up tents.
The length of the river is 414 km.
Neiva
Tura tributary entering the Oka basin. The source is located near Lake Tavatui. A characteristic feature of the river is a large number of reservoirs. They were created as factory ponds.

Nature lovers will love the rocky cliffs of the middle reaches of the Neiva.
The length of the river is 294 km.
Kosva
The left tributary of the Kama also flows through the territory of the Perm Territory. Only the upper reaches belong to the Sverdlovsk region. The mouth is the Kama reservoir. Passing through the mountains of the Middle Urals, Kosva becomes typically mountainous. Summer is not suitable for rafting, as the reservoir becomes shallow. Rides, rocky shoals and rapids make traveling along the river exciting and challenging.
The total length of the river is 283 km.
Nice
Formed at the confluence of Regis and Neiva. The river is famous for its fishing spots. The site near the village of Krasnoblodskoye is considered especially successful: the largest specimens are found here. Burbot comes to Nice for spawning.

The length of the river is 258 km.
Lobva
Left tributary of the Lyalya. The source of the mountain-taiga river is located 13 km from the village of Kytlym. The channel is most meandering in the lower and middle reaches. 4 permanent rafting routes have been developed. Their length ranges from 3 to 12 km. Fishing is unremarkable: mainly perches, pike and small grayling are caught. On the other hand, there are many mushroom spots in the area, as well as convenient sites for setting up tents.
The length of the river is 222 km.
Dir
Refers to the Oka basin.The runoff is regulated by a reservoir near the city of the same name and Lake Ayat. The main feature of the river is its rocks. Legends about them and a map showing all the most interesting objects, the number of which has exceeded 60, became the book "Rzhev Treasures". An ecopark was created in the middle course. More than 10 museums have been opened in the settlements located on the banks of the Rezh.
The length of the river is 219 km.
Beads
The right tributary of the Ufa belongs to the Kama basin. Rafting takes place in big water. There are exceptions, only in this case the route will have to be cut. The upper reaches are hilly shores covered with forest, the lower and middle - the plain, where the forest already alternates with sandbanks. A pond of the same name was formed on Biserti. The best bite is around his dam. And in the upper reaches in the spring you can catch grayling.
The length of the river is 193 km.
Salda
The right tributary of the Tura is sometimes confused with the river of the same name - a tributary of the Tagil. The entire length is not navigable. But for inflatable fishing boats there is plenty of space. In the lower reaches, dams were built for the needs of enterprises. Not far from the mouth there is a road bridge crossing the Salda. The rest of the infrastructure is not developed, since the valley of the reservoir is poorly populated. The area is swampy, and there is very little forest.
The length of the river is 182 km.
Kakva
The translation of the name is "pure water". The town of Serov is 15 km from the mouth. The Kiselevskoe reservoir and a small hydroelectric power station were built on the river. They were hit hard in 1993 by floods. Karst caves, recognized as natural monuments, are found on the left bank of the Kakva near the village of Veselovka. On the right bank there is a botanical monument - Shikhan rock not far from the camp site of the same name.
The length of the river is 170 km.
Silver
In the past it was called Serebryanka. However, the river was not so marked on the maps. There is a version that Yermak christened Silver with this name during his trip to Siberia. The main attractions near the channel are the mountains: Kamennaya, Kokuy, Kedrovka. Rafting routes start right at the mouth. In the first 20 km, the "track" is especially interesting in terms of obstacles.
The length of the river is 147 km.
Karabashka
The name is rooted in the Tatar language and means "black peak". The dark brown color of Karabashki water corresponds to it. The estuary is located 13 km from the town of Tavda. Fish come here for spawning, therefore in some periods the world of ichthyofauna is diverse, and the number of representatives of certain species is off scale. The maximum depth in the whirlpools is about 6 meters. The channel is crossed by 3 large highways.
The length of the river is 146 km.
Wagran
The river originates in the Ural Mountains. In the 60s of the last century in Severouralsk, the Vagran channel was “dressed” in concrete, and in parallel to it, a backup canal with locks was built. This sophisticated solution helped to keep water out of the bauxite mines operating within the city. Wild coastal areas are swampy, forested or abound in limestone caves.
The length is 137 km.
Turya
The right tributary of the Sosva originates and ends within the region. The reservoir is used by industrial and agricultural enterprises, so there are problems with pollution. At the same time, fishermen do not complain about biting: taimen and grayling even enter the mouth. The Turya valley is partly swampy. The channel is rocky, there are few algae, the depth on the stretches is no more than 2 meters.
The length of the river is 128 km.
Boundary Duck
The Chusovaya tributary flows not only in the Sverdlovsk region, but also in the Urals. The name of the river comes from two words: "border" - border and "duck" - translated from Mansi - water. The reservoir divided the possessions of the Demidovs and the Stroganovs. Partially the bed of the Mezhevaya Utka belongs to a natural park. The river is used for rafting; one of the popular routes starts near the village of Visim.
The length of the river is 121 km.
