Ob–Yenisei Canal, Historical canal system between Tomsk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

The Ob-Yenisei Canal spans 8 kilometers in length, featuring a base width of 20 meters and a depth of 2.1 meters across Siberian territory.

Engineers constructed this transportation route between 1882 and 1891 to connect the Ob River basin with the Yenisei River system through the Ket and Kas Rivers.

The canal stands as a representation of 19th-century Russian engineering efforts to develop Siberian water transportation networks before railway construction.

Current visitors reach the canal structure through canoe trips, car rides, bicycle routes, or walking paths across the Siberian landscape.

Three steamboats and one cutter made their final passage through this waterway in 1942, marking the last recorded navigation of the canal system.
