Mezynskyi National Nature Park (Ukrainian: Мезинський національний природний парк) is a national park of Ukraine that covers forest and floodplain terraces of the Desna River in the northern part of the country. The park was created to balance the protection of sensitive ecological and archaeological sites, recreation, and rural agriculture. Administratively, the park is in Novhorod-Siverskyi Raion of Chernihiv Oblast, about 150 km north of the regional city of Kharkiv.[1]

Topography

Most of the park is on the right bank of the Desna River, which runs north to south down the eastern and southern borders of the park.[1] The terrain is glacial moraines, sloping terraces, floodplain terraces, and elevated plains with many tributary streams running down to the river. The hills range from 125 to 208 meters above sea level. The general area is part of the Dnieper River Lowlands. The park is about 20 km west-to-east, and 30 km north-to-south. It is situated about 110 km east of the regional city of Chernihiv, and 60 km downstream from the border with Russia to the north.[1]
