Green Lake, Glacial lake near Sitka, Alaska
Green Lake, with its vast catchment area of 28.8 square miles, receives water from the Vodopad River flowing into Silver Bay.
The construction of the Green Lake Dam transformed the natural lake, which originally measured 230 feet in height, into a modern reservoir system.
The Tlingit people named this body of water Gageit' Tá, maintaining their traditional connection to the southeastern Alaskan landscape.
The Green Lake Dam generates 60 gigawatt hours of electricity annually, providing essential power supply to the Sitka region.
The Medvejie Fish Hatchery maintains net pens in the lake for raising young salmon, supporting local aquatic populations.
