Onezhskoye Pomorye National Park

The protected area spans over 2,000 square kilometers of northern taiga forests, coastal landscapes, and White Sea shorelines in Arkhangelsk Oblast.

The initiative to establish this national park began in 1997, with final approval granted on February 26, 2013, after extensive boundary negotiations.

The local Pomor communities maintain their traditional fishing practices and maritime skills, living in wooden houses near the White Sea coast.

Access to the park requires advance permits and remains limited to air transportation year-round, with additional water routes available during summer months.

The national park contains numerous freshwater streams where the European pearl mussel resides, marking a significant ecological feature of the Russian North.
