Yakhroma Reservoir, reservoir in Moscow Oblast, Russia
Yakhroma Reservoir is a body of water in the Dmitrovsky District created by damming the Yakhroma river, which receives water from smaller tributaries including Volgusha, Berezovetc, and Kuholka. The water sits in a landscape of marshes and forests, positioned between the town of Yakhroma and the city of Dmitrov.
The reservoir was created by damming the Yakhroma river for water control and regional drainage management, altering its natural flow. The Moscow Canal later crossed the river, creating a division between the upper and lower sections of the Yakhroma.
The area offers simple paths, parking, and access to shorelines for visitors who want to fish, walk, or have a picnic. The region is most active during summer months when weather is pleasant and families commonly spend time here.
The region is crossed by peat marshes that give the landscape a soft, damp feeling and support diverse plant and animal life. These marshes create a landscape characteristic that visitors seldom find in other water areas nearby.
