In the International scale of river difficulty the Lyapiske is a Class II destination for rafting and kayaking.

A little upstream from its confluence with the Buruolakh, its main tributary, the Lyapiske bends sharply again and flows roughly westwards, cutting across the Kuturgin Range.

In its last stretch the Lyapiske flows at the northwestern limit of the Ust-Vilyuy Range where it makes two short sharp bends among high rocky shores.

Finally it flows across a stretch of flat terrain at the edge of the Central Yakutian Lowland and joins the right bank of the Lena 1,057 km (657 mi) from its mouth.

[1] Taimen is an abundant species in the river, a fact being mentioned in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation.
