Kayaking trails

1. The Biebrza River - 145,7 km; easy trail
The only disadvantages could be dense vegetation in the river bed in the second part of summer (mainly at the north part of the park) and ... mosquitos! Rivers banks are very often inaccessible from kayak. The open landscape, strong river meanders, old river beds and vast flooding during a spring as well as variety of birds species are the main atractions, which easily recompense possible problems. Campsites along the river have different standard: with showers and toilets in Osowiec-Twierdza and Goniądz, but without any infrastructure in Kamienna Nowa.
For kayaking/canoeing on the distance between Osowiec and Biały Grąd from 1^st January till 23 of June, please obtain a permit from the Park Manager and valid admission tickets. This restriction is made due to the birds' nest season.

2. Jegrznia and Ełk River It is typical lowland kaykaing trail with very slow current, partly covered with dense vegetation in the river bed. Trail starts at the Rajgrodzkie Lake, goes through the Jegrznia River, the Drenstwo Lake and reach Woznawies village. It enters into BNP on 21,5 km distance and goes along the edge of “Czerwone Bagno” protected zone among wet meadows and the Ełk River. The only place to camp on the way to the Biebrza River is at the Elk old river bad at spot called Debiec (to get there it is necessary enter 2 km into the Elk old river bad).
