203 km. Length
This shows the official river length. Our calculated river length often differs from the official one. We calculate river length based on the drawn river curve on the map. Discrepancies exist due to different river start locations or different river curves through lakes and dams.

About kayaking on Merkiu::
Kaip aukštaičiams Šventoji, suvalkiečiams Šešupė, taip dzūkams sava upė yra Merkys, gražus ir mielas, neatskiriamas nuo šio dainų ir padavimų krašto, žydra juosta vingiuojantis pačiu Dzūkijos viduriu.

Water level history (30 days)
Source: LHMT · Water level is measured from the station's zero mark — negative values are normal. · VMS = Water management system
River profile
Official slope: 67.0 cm/km
Computed slope: 66.1 cm/km
The computed slope uses EU-DEM digital elevation model data (25 m resolution). Because the model measures average surface height in each 25×25 m cell, it cannot precisely capture the depth of narrow river valleys — elevation differences and slope are therefore often smaller than in reality.
