Beloye Lake, Natural lake in Moscow Oblast, Russia
Beloye Lake is a freshwater lake in the flat landscape of Moscow Oblast, characterized by clear water and steep banks surrounded by dense forests. The basin supports diverse fish populations and waterfowl that depend on these waters and shorelines.
The lake formed during the last glacial period when retreating ice sheets carved deep depressions into the limestone bedrock of the region. This geological process shaped what visitors see in the landscape today.
The designation as a Nature Monument of Regional Importance in 1974 reflects the commitment to preserve natural heritage in the Moscow Oblast.
The lake is accessible year-round for fishing in designated areas along the water. The flat surroundings and clear walking paths make it easy to explore, with picnic spots and viewpoints scattered along the shoreline.
The water maintains remarkable clarity through underground springs that naturally filter the water continuously. This hidden filtration system beneath the lake keeps the water unusually pure for a body of water of this size.
