Cheboksary Reservoir, Artificial lake on Volga River in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
Description

History
Construction began in 1968 and was completed in 1986, requiring the relocation of multiple settlements along the river. The project reshaped the landscape and created new economic opportunities for the region.
Culture
The water connects three major regions and shapes daily life for people around its shores. Fishing and leisure activities play an important role in local communities.
Practical
The water is accessible from many shoreline points, particularly near the larger towns. Visitors should keep in mind that weather and season significantly affect conditions.
