Large numbers of migratory waterfowl use the area for nesting and stopovers on long flights. The reserve is situated halfway between the city of Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur, in the Amursky District of Khabarovsk Krai. The reserve was created in 1997, and covers an area of 100,000 ha (390 sq mi).
