Kamsamoĺskaje Lake, reservoir in Belarus

Kamsamoĺskaje Lake is an artificial reservoir on the Svislach River in Minsk, part of the Viliya-Minsk water system. It is 1.8 km long, up to 0.3 km wide, with an average depth of 4.4 m and a maximum of 4.5 m. The shoreline is loam, the bottom mostly sand with patches of gravel and silt. The reservoir is held by a 283 m earthen dam with a reinforced upstream slope and a concrete spillway with three 6 m spans.

The reservoir was created by a dam built in 1940–1941 on the Svislach River to prevent spring floods in Minsk and to provide a recreation area. Its opening, set for 22 June 1941, was cancelled when the Great Patriotic War began. It was reconstructed in 1957 and deepened in 1974 under a Minskprojekt plan; in 2010 the lake and adjacent Victory Park were renovated.

The lake is easy to reach from various neighborhoods in Minsk and can be combined with visits to nearby parks or historical sites. Water levels may vary slightly with seasons and weather, and the surface can freeze over in winter.

The reservoir's dam is an earth embankment 283 m long and up to 5.5 m high, with a 12 m crest; its upstream slope is faced with stone paving over a gravel layer. The concrete spillway has three 6 m spans and shandor gates, passing up to 175 m³/s at a head of 4.1 m. The ice cover forms in early December and breaks up in the first half of April.
