Sapsho, Protected lake in Demidovsky District, Russia.
Lake Sapsho spans 3.04 square kilometers within Smolenskoye Poozerye National Park, featuring six islands and reaching depths of up to 18.6 meters.
Russian explorer Nikolay Przhevalsky recognized Lake Sapsho's geological significance in the 19th century, comparing its features to those of Lake Baikal.
Local fishing practices around Lake Sapsho shifted from industrial operations in the early 1900s to current preservation-focused regulations protecting native species.
The lake's swimming season extends from late June through early August, with water temperatures suitable for recreational activities during this period.
Two glacial eskers near Lake Sapsho underwent erosion processes that formed five of the lake's islands, including Chernetsky Island and Raspashnoy Island.
