The Ivanovo Rapids form a two-kilometer section of the Neva River between the mouths of the Svyatka and Tosna rivers, with a width of 210 meters.

The rapids were a challenging navigation point until the 1970s when extensive dredging work transformed the waterway to accommodate increased river traffic from the Volga-Baltic route.

Local fishermen gather at these rapids throughout the year, following long-standing traditions of fishing in the nutrient-rich waters of the Neva River.

The passage through Ivanovo Rapids requires vessels to maintain radio communication on Channel 5 with Volgo-Balt dispatchers and prohibits navigation during visibility below 1 kilometer.

The water temperature in the rapids maintains a constant 4-5 degrees Celsius, creating specific conditions for the local aquatic ecosystem.
