Gulp River is a small river in eastern Belgium and southeastern Netherlands.
It's about 22 kilometres long, and fast streaming. It is a strongly meandering side stream of the Geul river.
From its source in Henri-Chapelle, a village of the Welkenraedt, Liège it runs in a northwestern direction across the Dutch border, after which it flows into the Geul. This happens near a motte-and-bailey castle called "Burggraaf" at Gulpen. This is the place and municipality to which it evidently gets its name.
