The Jewish cemetery in Korycin is located in the south of the town, about two hundred meters to the left of the road leading to Knyszyn. The boundaries are partially legible thanks to fragments of natural embankments. When ESJF surveyors visited this site, the area was overgrown with forest. Several cemetery monuments have survived, but most of them were destroyed.
