Ruza Reservoir, reservoir in Russia
Ruza Reservoir is a man-made lake in Moscow Oblast created by damming the Ruza River. The water body stretches across several kilometers and serves as a source of water storage while offering opportunities for boating and fishing activities.
The reservoir was built during the Soviet era to secure water supply for the region and generate electricity. It marks a key moment in the infrastructure development of the Moscow Oblast area.
The area is most accessible during warmer months when the water is inviting for swimming and boating. The surroundings are relatively flat with several access points along the shore, and local paths help visitors navigate the area.
The reservoir is a favored spot for local anglers who find a good variety of freshwater fish species here. The quiet shorelines also make it a retreat for birdwatchers studying various waterfowl species.
