Russky Sever National Park, National park in Vologda Oblast, Russia.
The protected area encompasses 168,000 hectares of northern Russian landscapes, including forests, lakes, and wetlands between Lake Beloye and Lake Kubenskoye.
The park territory shows traces of human presence since the Mesolithic period, with numerous archaeological sites along the Modlona River dating back thousands of years.
The territory contains the Kirillo-Belozersky and Ferapontov monasteries, with the latter preserving exceptional 16th-century frescoes by master painter Dionisius.
Visitors require permits and entry fees to access the national park, which features marked hiking trails, water routes, and a visitor center.
The North-Dvina water system, constructed between 1825 and 1828, runs through the park with five artificial canals and seven locks still operating today.
