The district maintains a Council of Deputies consisting of 17 elected representatives who serve five-year terms to manage local governance and community matters.
The area is best explored starting from Mozhaysk, which serves as the main town and primary gateway for visitors. Much of the landscape is forested, so routes and roads can be challenging to navigate.
The district contains the Mozhaysk Reservoir, a large artificial lake that feeds into four major rivers shaping the landscape. This water system creates varied terrain that offers diverse opportunities for exploration.
