The '''Yarenga''' ({{langx|ru|Яренга}}) is a river in the [[Ust-Vymsky District]] of the [[Komi Republic]] and in the [[Lensky District, Arkhangelsk Oblast|Lensky District]] of the [[Arkhangelsk Oblast]] in [[Russia]]. It is a right [[tributary]] of the [[Vychegda]]. The river is {{convert|281|km|mi}} long, and its [[drainage basin]] covers {{convert|5140|km2|sqmi}}. The principal tributaries are the [[Vezhay]] (left) and [[Uktym]] (right). The Yarenga is the main river of the Lensky District north of the Vychegda and collects virtually all the drain of that area.
The source of the Yarenga is near the village of Vezhayka in the Komi Republic. The Yarenga flows to the north-west through primeval [[pine]] and [[larch]] forests, enters the Arkhangelsk Oblast, and in the village of Yarenga turns south-west. It is noted for its many [[rapids]]. In the village of Ust-Ocheya, where it accepts the [[Ocheya]] from the left, it turns south-east. <!--The lower Yarenga valley is populated, in particular,--> [[Yarensk]] is on the left bank, approximately {{convert|3|km|mi|0}} from the river course. The Yarenga empties into the Vychegda about {{convert|5|km|mi|0}} downstream from Yarensk.
