Chernogolovsky Pond, reservoir in Russia

Chernogolovsky Pond is a 0.26 km² reservoir on the Chernogolovka River in northern Noginsk, Moscow Oblast, held back by a dam. Its lower banks are sandy with two beaches, while the upper part is swampy; a layer of silt up to half a metre deep lies on the bottom. Thirty-metre pines stand on the raised banks, and willow, birch and alder grow along the low ones.

The pond began in the early 19th century, when a ten-horsepower flour mill was built on the Chernogolovka river on Zherebtsova's estate. After Zakhar Morozov bought the land in the mid-1840s, the riverbed was widened and deepened in the second half of the century, the dam strengthened and the water level raised. A park and the Morozovs' summer house stood on the left bank, bathing houses on the right, and pond water supplied the mills and factories.

The pond serves as a gathering place where locals come to spend time outdoors and connect with nature. You can see people fishing along the edges, walking the paths, or sitting on benches to watch the water and wildlife.

The pond is located in an accessible part of Moscow Oblast and can be reached via local roads. Visitors should stick to maintained paths and bring any necessary items such as fishing gear or picnic supplies from home.

In the early 20th century a velodrome with grandstands stood on the left bank behind the park, making Noginsk a centre of cycling; that site is now the town's sports complex. On the right bank the DOSAAF motorboat station, today ROSTO, later hosted powerboating championships and training camps.
