The Wyg ( Russian Выг , Finnish Uikujoki ) is a river in the Republic of Karelia in northwestern Russia .

The river consists of two river sections:

The upper course is formed by the 135 km long Upper Wyg ( Russian Верхний Выг ), which flows into the Vygosero . It has its origin in Lake Egosero, southeast of the Vygosero . It runs in a north-westerly direction through a swamp landscape and flows through several smaller lakes.

The lower reaches of the 102 km long Lower Wyg ( Russian Нижний Выг ) formed. It drains the Vygosero to the north and flows to Onega Bay , the southwestern end of the White Sea . The Lower Wyg is regulated by several dams and locks and is part of the White Sea-Baltic Sea Canal . A large part of the water of the Vygosero leaves the reservoir via the Ondskoje hydroelectric power station and the lower reaches of the Onda and meets a few kilometers north of the actual White Sea-Baltic Sea Canal or the Lower Wyg.

The catchment area of the Wyg covers 27,100 km². The total length of the upper course, lower course and the Vygosero through which it flows is 314 km. The mean discharge at the mouth is 267 m³ / s. In the Wygosero the following rivers flow into the Wyg: Segescha , Onda and Woschma .
