It is a rural area, surrounded by the Lek river in the north, the Noord river in the west, the Beneden-Merwede and Boven-Merwede rivers in the south, and the Zederik and Linge rivers in the east.

The Alblasserwaard encompasses the municipalities of Alblasserdam, Gorinchem (except a small part in the east) , Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden (except a tiny part in the southeast), Papendrecht, and Sliedrecht. A small part of the municipality of Vijfheerenlanden belongs also to the Alblasserwaard.

The well-known windmills of Kinderdijk can be found in the northwest corner.
