Towards its middle course the rivermeandersstrongly in a floodplain where there are swamps and lakes. Some of the lakes are quite large, such as theKrokhalin Lakes(Крохалиные озера) north of the river channel. In its last stretch the Namyndykan reaches theOmolonfloodplain where it bends northeastwards before the confluence.[3][4]
