The 758 km long Kamchatka ( Russian Камчатка ) is the longest river on the peninsula of the same name in the Far East of Russia .

It rises in the south of the Sredinny ridge and flows from there in a north-northeast direction through the lowland that it has cleared , to turn sharply eastwards north of the Vostochny ridge (east ridge ) and the volcano Klyuchevskaya Sopka . The lower reaches of the river are also navigable for ocean-going ships. A little further to the east it flows into the Pacific Ocean at Ust-Kamchatsk . Important tributaries are Kensol , Andrianowka , Schupanka , Kosyrewka , Jelowka and Osjornaja from the left, and Kitilgina , Wachwina Lewaja , Urz and Schtschapina from the right. The outflow of Lake Ashabachye flows into the river on the right at river kilometer 34. Small towns along the river are Kosyrewsk , Klyuchi and Ust-Kamchatsk.

The landscape along the Kamchatka is characterized by so-called "winter cold deciduous and mixed forest".
