Nizhnyaya Tunguska River

The Nizhnyaya Tunguska is a Russian river that flows through Irkutsk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Krai in Siberia. The river joins the Yenisey at Turukhansk and is a right tributary of the Yenisey. Tura, Yukti, and Simenga are among the river's settlements. The Nizhnyaya Tunguska's ice-free season begins in mid-June and lasts until the first half of October. The Lena Plateau's western boundary is formed by the river.

The Nizhnyaya Tunguska is the Yenisey's second-largest right tributary, and it joins it near Turukhansk. It stretches for 2,989 kilometers (1,857 miles) and drains 473,000 square kilometers (183,000 sq mi). The river can be divided into two sections based on the stream's characteristics, the valley's structure, and the river's shores: the first begins at the river's source and continues down to the village of Preobrazhenskoye, while the second section lies downstream of this village in a canyon-like relief.

The Nizhnyaya Tunguska channel and its tributaries form a dense network of rivers and creeks that provide easy summer paths through Eastern Siberia's broad rifted valley. The river has historically been used for the fur trade, fishing, and transportation of goods and mineral resources. The local economy still relies heavily on hunting and the fur trade.
