The Leda is a right tributary of the Ems and originates at the confluence of the Sagter Ems and the Dreyschloot (a branch of the Soeste) near Barßel. The Leda flows into the Ems near the town of Leer. On the southern bank of the Leda, in the Overledingen Land (Overledingen="country over the Leda"), opposite Leer, lies the small settlement of Kloster Muhde (Muhde from the Old Frisian mutha meaning "(river) mouth"). The total length of the river is Template:Convert[1] (Template:Convert including the source rivers Sagter Ems and Ohe).[2]
The lower Template:Convert until the port of Leer are navigable for large (Class Vb) ships, a further 7 km until the mouth of the Jümme for Class II ships and a further 16 km until the Template:Ill are navigable but not classified.[1]
In East Frisia the Sagter Ems, a headstream of the Leda, is also known as the Leda.
