Verhnij Kuzminskij Pond, reservoir in Russia

Verhnij Kuzminskij Pond is a reservoir in Moscow's Kuzminki District surrounded by tall trees and vegetation as part of a larger park area. The water is fed by natural streams and supports water lilies and other aquatic plants.

The Upper Kuzminki Pond was created in the mid-18th century by A. G. Stroganov, who became sole owner of the Kuzminki estate between 1740 and 1754 and dammed the Churilikha River. In 1757 the estate passed to the Golitsyn family through marriage, and Prince Mikhail Golitsyn turned the ponds on the Churilikha into a cascade. In 1969 construction of a heating main and the Noginsk–Chagino power line narrowed the channel, shortening the pond by about 200 metres.

The pond's name reflects its location in the Kuzminki District, and today it serves as a gathering place where Moscow residents come to step away from urban noise and connect with nature.

The pond lies in the south-eastern part of Kuzminki Park, near the mouth of the Churilikha River, and is reached on foot along the park's paths. The banks are flat and the sandy bottom slopes gently, so the water's edge is easy to approach. In 2022 the river mouth at the pond's inlet was cleared.

In 1969, construction of a heating main and the Noginsk–Chagino power line narrowed the channel, shortening the pond by about 200 metres; the cut-off section dried out and became marshy. The mouth of the Churilikha was cleared in 2022.
