Dam of the Lower Iset Pond, Dam from 1790 in Chkalovski district, Russia
The Dam of the Lower Iset Pond is a 224-meter structure along the Iset River that creates a large water reservoir with extended shorelines. The water body has varying depths and banks of different elevations along its course.
The structure was built in 1790 to supply water to a mint facility that operated at the site. When that facility burned down in 1795, the location was eventually repurposed for steel production.
The reservoir shores hosted educational groups where young people gathered for sailing and group activities, becoming important places in local community life. These spaces held meaning for generations of residents who spent time here.
The dam provides good vantage points for exploring the reservoir and surrounding area from the shore. The varying bank heights affect which areas are easily accessible and where you should take care.
An aircraft made an emergency landing on the frozen water in 1961 and collided with a nearby building during the incident. This rare event left marks on the local history of the area.
