Kutulukskoye Vodokhranilishche, reservoir in Russia
Kutulukskoye Vodokhranilishche is an artificial reservoir created on the Kutuluk River in its middle section. The water body stretches nearly 14 kilometers long and varies between 1.4 and 2.5 kilometers wide, with an average depth near 5 meters and banks that slope gently into shallow water.
The reservoir was planned in 1935 and construction of the earthen dam began in 1938. Filling started in 1941 and it reached its normal water level by 1943.
The reservoir serves as a gathering place where local fishermen practice their craft and farmers rely on its water supply. The shoreline draws residents seeking quiet moments and connection with the natural rhythm of the region.
The shoreline is easily accessible with shallow areas suitable for swimming and fishing. The best time to visit is from late spring through early fall when water is warm and weather conditions are pleasant.
The Kutulukskie Yary cliffs and the ancient Kutulukskaya Duba oak forest are protected areas adjacent to the reservoir. These natural features form part of a regional park designed to preserve the local environment.
