Ropa is a river of mountainous southern Poland, a tributary of the Wisłoka.
Near the town of Łosie, Gorlice County, the Ropa was dammed in 1994 to create Lake Klimkowskie.[1] Downstream it flows through Biecz and joins the Wisłoka at Jasło. During the 2010 Central European floods the Ropa flooded Jasło on June 5th.[2]
Its own tributaries include the Libuszanka and the Zdynia.
