Bolshaya Yakshanga

The Bolshaya Yakshanga is formed where the Yakshanga and Eastern Yakshanga meet in the forested Vetluga basin. Its lower course passes through marshy woods before entering the Vetluga from the left. The larger river continues south to the Volga. The Yakshanga's branches drain a country of forest and wetlands, part of the network of tributaries that brings the waters of the northern interior to the middle Volga.
