Ayat Reservoir, reservoir in Russia
Ayat Reservoir is a large water storage in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, surrounded by forests and mountains in a quiet area. A simple concrete and rock dam with a gate controls the water level and helps regulate flow to surrounding communities.
This reservoir was built to store water for local farming and small industrial sites in the surrounding area. It became an important part of the region's water supply system and continues to serve nearby communities.
Locals know this reservoir as Ayat Lake, and it has been part of community life for generations. People come here to walk along the shores, fish, or simply enjoy nature with family and friends.
The best time to visit is during warmer months when paths around the reservoir are easy to walk and nature is in full bloom. In winter, ice forms on the surface and requires caution if you plan to approach the water.
The water stays cool and refreshing even during hot summer months, making it a welcome spot despite the region's cold climate. Visitors often overlook this natural cooling property and are surprised at how pleasant the water remains year-round.
