Parco dell'Oglio Nord, Regional park along Oglio River in Lombardy, Italy.
Parco dell'Oglio Nord is a protected area along the Oglio River in Lombardy, spanning multiple provinces with diverse landscapes that include agricultural plains and wooded riverbanks. The area forms a mosaic of open fields, dense woods, and water surfaces that together create a natural corridor where the river and its floodplains can flow freely.
Parco dell'Oglio Nord was established on 16 April 1988 by regional law no. 18 of Lombardy. It protects the stretch of the Oglio between its outflow from Lake Iseo and the municipalities of Seniga on the left bank and Gabbioneta-Binanuova on the right; from there to the river's mouth the waterway falls under Parco Oglio Sud. The park covers 14,170 hectares across 34 municipalities in the provinces of Bergamo, Brescia and Cremona.
The park's administrative seat is at Orzinuovi, while its cultural seat is at Soncino, a walled town on the Oglio. The protected stretch runs from the outlet of Lake Iseo to the municipalities of Seniga on the left bank and Gabbioneta-Binanuova on the right; beyond that the Parco Oglio Sud takes over to the river's mouth.
The park's administrative seat is at Orzinuovi and its cultural seat at Soncino, useful starting points for orientation.

The park's cultural headquarters is at Soncino, while its administrative seat is at Orzinuovi, a split that reflects how the protected river stretch crosses three provinces. Among the birds recorded here are grey herons, little egrets, cranes and three woodpecker species, the green, great spotted and lesser spotted.
