Abra River

The Abra River, commonly known as the Lagben River, is the Philippines' eighth biggest river system in terms of watershed size. Its headwaters are near Mount Data in Benguet province, and it has a drainage area of 5,125 square kilometers (1,979 square miles) and a length of 206 kilometers (128 miles).


The Abra is a river that originates on Mount Data's southern crest. After descending to Cervantes, Ilocos Sur, it flows into Abra. The Tineg River, which originates in the Abra uplands near the town of Dolores, connects the two.


It is famous for being the home of the Abra River eel, a rare species. During the rainy season, the river runs rapidly, supplying a multitude of tributaries throughout Abra's plains and valleys. The riverbed, on the other hand, dries up in the summer, revealing its exceedingly harsh and stony gravel bottom.


The country's widest river, which originates in the Cordillera Mountains and flows down to Ilocos Sur, is a great area to swim and fish. The river is one of the biggest in the area, serving as the confluence point for all of the rivers and streams in the surrounding province.
