Kremenchutski Plavni

Kremenchutski Plavni is a protected park covering more than 5,000 hectares of wetlands and floodplain along the Dnieper River. The land includes shallow lakes, channels, and riverside areas where water birds and fish species thrive.

The park was officially protected in 2001 to preserve the natural habitats of the region. This recognition marked an important moment in safeguarding these valuable wetlands for years to come.

Local people fish in certain parts of the park following rules that protect the environment. These traditions show how communities have worked with the river and its resources over time.

The park is reachable through marked trails near Kremenchuk city, with guided nature walks offered from spring through fall. Visitors should come during migration seasons to see the most bird activity.

The park contains rare water plants in specific areas where river currents and soil interact in unusual ways. This combination allows species to grow that would not normally survive in the wider region.
