The Linkava starts 4 km from the town of Ramygala, near Vaidilai village. It flows to the southwest, later to the north west and meets the Nevėžis river (from the left side) in Krekenava. The bed width is 6-12, at some places 14-22 meters, the depth is 0.5-3 meters. The river course from Butrimoniai village has been left intact and now belongs to Krekenava Regional Park.[2]
The name Linkava derives from the root *link- as in Lithuanian linka ('hollow, dip'), linkis ('curve, bay'), linkti ('to bend').[3]
