Białobrzegi Lock - the fourth lock on the Augustów Canal (from the Biebrza River). Located in the village of Białobrzegi in the administrative district of Gmina Augustów, within Augustów County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south of Augustów and 78 km (48 mi) north of the regional capital Białystok.
