The Gacka is a river located in the Lika region of central Croatia.
Because for a large part of its course it is a subterranean river, estimates of its length vary. The aboveground part has undergone substantial human intervention – before it was 32 kilometres (20 miles) long; now it is only 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) long.[1] It has been regulated by man to flow into an aqueduct in Gusić polje (known as Tunel Gacka-Gusić Jezero[2]) and then into the Adriatic Sea through the hydroelectric installation HE Senj near Sveti Juraj.[1] Built in 1965, HE Senj takes inflow from both the Gacka and Lika rivers.[3][4]
The river passes through karst fields and most notably the town of Otočac, and its headwaters are known as a popular locale for trout fishing.[5][6]
