Salaca River
The fifth largest river in Latvia, it flows from Lake Burtnieki and is 94.4 km long. The Salaca River is the foundation of the Salaca Valley Nature Park, one of the most picturesque rivers in Latvia with outstanding natural values.
It is the most important natural salmon spawning river in Latvia. It has been awarded the status of a salmon index river. The Salaca River is licensed.
Licensed fishing and crayfish catching in the Salaca I section is introduced to ensure the protection of biodiversity and the rational use of valuable fish stocks, as well as to reduce the number of signal crayfish (Pacifastacusnleniusculus) as an invasive species.
To discover the most beautiful natural sights of the Salaca River, we invite you to take a peaceful and unforgettable boat trip from Mērnieki to Salacgrīva.
