Gorky Reservoir, Artificial lake in Yaroslavl Oblast and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
The Gorky Reservoir covers 1,591 square kilometers with a maximum depth of 22 meters along the Volga River system in central Russia.
The construction of the Nizhny Novgorod Hydroelectric Station between 1955 and 1957 formed this reservoir, resulting in the relocation of several communities.
The reservoir connects multiple regions through waterways, supporting local fishing communities and traditional water-based activities throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access multiple recreational areas around the reservoir for swimming, boating, and fishing activities from designated points along its 430-kilometer span.
The water body maintains different widths throughout its course, reaching up to 16 kilometers near Yuryevets while remaining narrow in its upper sections.
