The Icha river flows through the Sobolev district of Kamchatka and falls into a shallow lagoon that stretches along the coast of Okhotskoe Sea, separated from it only by a narrow piece of low-lying foreland. River length is approximately 233km.
The Icha river is one of the most popular Kamchatka rivers when it comes to active leisure, and is one of the safer rivers for an unforgettable rafting experience. Whether you are a weathered fisherman, or a complete novice, the magnificent landscapes and excellent fishing spots are sure to leave a long lasting impression.
Rafting and fishing take place in the mid-stream of the Icha river, which has some of the more exciting natural obstacles and rapids.
