The Narva or Narova is a river which drains the Lake Peipus, flowing on the border of Estonia and Russia. It flows through the cities of Narva/Ivangorod and Narva-Jõesuu into Narva Bay, a part of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. The Narva Reservoir, a large artificial lake (191 km²), was formed on the river in 1956. The length of the river is 75 km, average width 300 metres and depth 5 metres. The largest tributary is the Plyussa River. The river gives its name to the Narva culture and the city of Narva.
