New Marinsk Reservoir, reservoir in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia
The New Marinsk Reservoir is a large body of water in Sverdlovsk Oblast created to store water for regional use and supply. Fed by the Revda River, it spans a broad area with gently rolling terrain and protected zones surrounding its banks.
The reservoir was built during the last century to improve water management in the region and support local industry and communities. Its construction through damming represents a key development in the area's history of managing water resources.
Access is available via local roads and paths that are easy to reach for a straightforward escape into nature. The location works well for walking, fishing, and quiet moments while viewing the water surface.
During winter, the surface can freeze over and become a temporary ice rink where locals walk and skate. This seasonal transformation gives the location an entirely different purpose and use throughout the year.
