Dubinga River. The largest river in the park is Dubinga, the right tributary of Žeimena. The river is characterized by how winding it is, and by the mature forests rustling along the banks. This river frequently enchants tourists with its appeal and mystery, hiding its sources in a dense swamp in Vyriogala Bay, Lake Asveja. A few kilometers away, Dubinga flows into the Pabradė pond, so water tourists will have to carry their boats and kayaks over the dam. After flowing for about a couple of kilometers, the stream calmly flows into one of the rivers – Žeimena. The slope of Dubinga is quite high — 1,4 m, the length is about 18 km.
