The park includes part of the approximately 65-kilometre long left bank of the Bug River Valley, from the mouth of Krzna River in Neple, Lubelskie Voivodeship, to the mouth of Toczna River in Drażniewo in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship.

In a wide valley, the meandering Bug creates open and closed oxbow lakes, vast flood plains covered with lush meadows and reeds as well as alders, willows and poplars. Available for tourists are nature paths: Bużny Most near Krzyczew, Nadbużańskie Łęgi near Janów Podlaski and Szwajcaria Podlaska near Nepla. More than 760 species of vascular plants were identified in the park (one in five is a rare or protected species). Also, nesting of up to 141 bird species has been documented (including the ringed and river plover).
