The narrow and shallow valley, along which the river flows for the first 30 km, passes into the moraine-free morainic plain.

The banks are high and hilly, only here and there are small copses. The river Vazuza with clear water has a sandy bottom, sometimes there is rubble on it.

Only in the city of Sychevka Vazuza turns into a large river with a width of up to 30 m. Near Zubtsov in the late 70s a dam was built, which formed the Vazuz reservoir. Its waters, used for water supply in Moscow, flooded the most rapacious places in the river valley.

The Vazuza River is replenished by the melting snow, rains and underground springs. The ice cover is set at the beginning of November, and in the first days of April ice breaks out.
