The
Upper Angara River (,
Verkhnyaya Angara; ,
Deede Angar) is a river in
Siberia to the north of
Lake Baikal. It is long and rises north-east of Lake Baikal, flowing south-west through the
Buryat Republic and eventually into the lake. It is partly navigable. The
Baikal Amur Mainline runs along the north side of the river northeast up its valley, crossing between Anamakit and
Novy Uoyan and crossing the river a second time upstream before heading into the mountains.
