Prior to the creation of the Gorky Reservoir it flowed into the Volga within the city limits of Kostroma. The Ipatiev Monastery is at the old confluence of the Kostroma and the Volga. The river is long, and its drainage basin covers . The average water flow is at the town of Buy, from the mouth,〔(''Kostrama (river in Kostrama reg.)'' article from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia ) 〕 and at the mouth.〔(названия/Кострома/ ''Kostrama'' entry in the Dictionary of Modern Geographical Names ) 〕 Major tributaries include the Vocha, Mezenda, Wex, Tebza, and Sacha on the left, and the Shugoma, Svetlitsa, Lums, Selma, Monza, and Obnora on the right. Before the creation of the Gorky Reservoir, the Sot and Mesa were also tributaries; they now flow directly into the reservoir. The towns of Soligalich and Buy are along the river. The Kostroma freezes up in November and breaks up in April or early May. The Kostroma begins near the village of Knyazhevo Chuhlomskogo in the Kostroma District.

In the upper and middle reaches of the river bed there are rapids, and the banks are often wooded and sometimes steep. Here it is suitable for swimming due to the large amount of snags and debris. By the time it flows past the town of Buy, the width of the river exceeds ; from this point on the river is navigable. From here down to the reservoir it begins to form large bends and oxbow lakes, and it sometimes floods. The last of the Kostroma's course forms the border between the Yaroslavl and Kostroma Districts. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kostroma River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
