Beryozovo Reservoir, reservoir in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia

Beryozovo Reservoir is a cooling pond for the Beryozovskaya GRES power plant, formed by regulating the flow of the Beresh River where the Bazyr and Kadat rivers join it. It covers about 27 km², measures 8 km long and 5 km wide, and lies at 279 m above sea level. Several small islands sit in its southeastern part.

The reservoir was filled between 1981 and 1987, when the first phase of the Beryozovskaya GRES power plant came into operation. It was created by regulating the flow of the Beresh River, a tributary in the Ob basin, at the confluence of the Bazyr and Kadat rivers. Its water is used for cooling the power plant.

The reservoir is a cooling pond for the Beryozovskaya GRES power station, filled between 1981 and 1987 when the plant's first unit came online. It also supplies the water intake used to cool the station. Anglers come for perch and roach, the dominant fish, alongside pike, ide, ruffe and Siberian grayling.

The best time to visit is late spring through summer when the weather is mild and snow has melted. Paths can be muddy after rain, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for changing weather conditions.

During winter the surface freezes into a thick mirror of ice where locals skate and cross-country ski. This frozen landscape transforms the location into a completely different environment, offering seasonal activities that only winter visitors experience.
