One of the most interesting routes brings you to the Samarga River, which flows through rich mixed forest of Primorie. The rivers is swift and powerful, with clear greenish water and pebble bottom. In the upper and middle part of the river there are dangerous places - narrow channels with log jams. In its lower part there are no obstacles; the river flows mostly with one channel. 

The most interesting fish of the area is sea-run Sakhalin taimen. Unfortunately, this fish is becoming more and more rare. Depending on season, in Samarga River it is possible to catch different Salmonid fish. The river is favorable for flyfishing.
