Kaunas Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in Kaunas, Lithuania.
The Kaunas Reservoir extends over 63.5 square kilometers, reaching a maximum depth of 22 meters and a width of 3.3 kilometers at its broadest section.
The construction of the dam in 1959 submerged 35 villages and required the relocation of 721 farms, fundamentally changing the regional landscape within nine months.
The Regional Park established in 1992 contains numerous archaeological monuments, including the Rumšiškės mound dating from the first millennium.
Visitors can participate in water activities through the yacht club, with designated areas for sailing, fishing, and cycling along the shoreline paths.
The reservoir powers both the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant and the 900MW Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant, making it central to Lithuania's energy infrastructure.
