Velikoye Lake, Protected lake in Ryazan Oblast, Russia.
Velikoye Lake spans 20 square kilometers within the Meshchyera Lowlands, featuring extensive reed beds and sedge along its shoreline in a pine forest setting.
The lake formed during the last glaciation period and maintained a canal connection to Lake Beloye until 2009, when authorities decided to fill the waterway.
Local communities gather at the lake throughout the year for traditional fishing activities, maintaining long-standing connections with this water resource.
Visitors can access designated areas around the lake for fishing, with pike and carp being common catches in the waters of this natural monument.
The lake sits upon limestone bedrock within glacial alluvial plains, creating specific conditions that support distinct ecological communities in the Meshchyera region.
