The River Ouse is 52 miles (84 km) in length and is navigable for its entirety. It's renowned for flooding with waters occasionally rising to more than 18 feet (5 m).

Its banks and waters are a haven bird and wildlife, where various seasonal species of bird can be spotted as well as otters, voles and grass snakes.
