The Provadiya or the Provadiyska reka is a 119 km long river in northeastern Bulgaria, named after the town of Provadia.

The Provadiyska reka takes its source under the name Kamenitsa from a karst spring at an altitude of 119 km at the outskirts of the village of Boyan in the Samuilovo Heights of the Ludogorie region. It flows southeast through the region of Ovche Pole in a wide valley, which narrows and becomes canyon-like between the towns of Kaspichan and Provadia, running between the Provadia Plateau to the southwest, the Stana Plateau to the north and the Dobrinsko Plateau to the east. Downstream from the town of Provadia the river forms a large arch bulging south, then turns north and finally northeast, before emptying in Lake Beloslav some 2.6 km northeast of the village of Razdelna. The lake is connected to Lake Varna, which is itself linked with the Black Sea via a navigable channel.[1] Its drainage basin covers a territory of 2,132 km2.
