'''The Chusovaya River''' ({{lang-ru|Чусова́я}}), a [[river]] in [[Sverdlovsk Oblast]] and [[Perm Krai]] in [[Russia]], a [[tributary]] of the [[Kama River]]. Its length is 592 [[kilometre|km]]. The [[area]] of the [[drainage basin|basin]] is 23,000 km². It flows into the Chusovoy [[Cove]] of the [[Kamsky Reservoir]]. The [[flood]]s usually take place from mid-[[April]] to mid-[[June]]. The Chusovaya River freezes up between late [[October]]-early [[December]] and stays under the ice until mid-[[April]]–first weeks of [[May]]. Its principal tributaries are [[Mezhevaya Utka]], [[Serebryanka]], [[Koyva]], [[Usva]], [[Revda]], and [[Lysva]]. The Chusovaya River is widely used for water supply: its water is moved from the [[Volchikhinsky Reservoir]] (37 sq km) to the [[Verkhneisetsky Reservoir]] to supply [[Yekaterinburg]]. Its tributaries have fifteen small [[reservoir (water)|reservoirs]], as well. Main ports are [[Perm]] and [[Chusovoy]].

The Chusovaya River is famous for its huge shore rocks. One of those rocks (small-sized one) is depicted on photo. Some rocks were very dangerous for boats during spring tide and were called ''Boytsy'' ({{lang|ru|бойцы''}}, lit. fighters). Most of them have their own names.
