Pleshcheyevo Lake, Lake in Pereslavsky District, Russia.
Lake Pleshcheyevo extends across 51 square kilometers with a maximum depth of 25 meters and features a 28-kilometer shoreline surrounded by mixed forests.
Peter the Great established a training flotilla on Lake Pleshcheyevo from 1688 to 1693, marking the beginning of Russian naval development.
The lake shores contain archaeological sites revealing ancient Slavic settlements, including the former town of Kleshchin mentioned in the Primary Chronicle.
The lake provides numerous fishing spots where visitors can catch the local vendace species, with designated areas for swimming during summer months.
The protected vendace fish population in Lake Pleshcheyevo represents one of the earliest recorded conservation efforts in Russia, dating back to 1668.
