The '''Tura River''' ({{Lang-ru|Тура́}}), also known as '''Dolgaya River''' (Long River, {{Lang-ru|Долгая}}) is a historically important Siberian river which flows eastward from the central [[Ural Mountains]] into the [[Tobol River]], a part of the [[Ob River]] basin. The main town on it is [[Tyumen]].

==Description==
From about 1600 to 1750 the Tura River was the main entry point into Siberia. Most people and goods entering or leaving passed through the customs house at [[Verkhoturye]]. There are a number of mining towns in the upper Tura basin.

===Geography===
It is located in the [[Sverdlovsk Oblast]] and [[Tyumen Oblast]] in [[Russia]]. It is {{convert|1030|km|mi}} long with a [[drainage basin]] of {{convert|80400|km2|mi2}}. The Tura River is navigable within {{convert|753|km|mi}} of its mouth. It freezes up in late October through November and stays under the ice until April of the first half of May.

The Tura basin is bounded on the west by the Ural Mountains with the city of [[Perm]], on the north by the [[Tavda River]] basin, on the east by the Tobol River with the city of [[Tobolsk]] and on the south by the [[Iset River]] basin with the city of [[Yekaterinburg]].

The Tura flows north through [[Verkhnyaya Tura]] and [[Nizhnyaya Tura]], receives an east-flowing river from the mining town of [[Kachkanar]], flows east past Verkhoturye, turns east-southeast, receives the [[Tagil River]] from the west, passes [[Turinsk]], receives the east-flowing [[Nitsa River]], passes Tyumen, turns directly east, receives the east-flowing [[Pyshma River]] from the south and joins the Tobol River southwest of Tobolsk.

The Tura basin is fan-shaped with the Tura on the north side and the [[Pyshma River]] on the south.
