Svir Canal, Navigational canal in Volkhovsky District, Russia.
The Svir Canal extends 224 kilometers through Leningrad Oblast, connecting Lake Onega to Lake Ladoga with a drainage basin of 84,400 square kilometers.
The construction of the Svir Canal began in 1802 as part of the Mariinsky Water System, improving navigation between the Neva River and Volga River.
The canal region includes multiple settlements such as Podporozhye, Lodeynoye Pole, Voznesenye, Nikolsky, Vazhiny, and Svirstroy, each contributing to local traditions.
The waterway system incorporates two main dams with locks for water management, while the Lower Svir Hydroelectric Station at Svirstroy generates power.
The Nizhnesvirsky Nature Reserve occupies the right bank of the lower Svir, protecting local flora and fauna since 1980.
