White Lake - the third largest in Europe - received its romantic name thanks to a surprising natural fact: immediately after sunset, the water glows white.

The depth in the lake is very small - only 5-7 meters, and only 10-meter hollows . At the shore, the depth is altogether ridiculous - in some places it does not exceed 1 meter for a kilometer.

History of the White Lake

The White Lake has always been famous for its fish stocks. Once upon a time on its bank was the Gosudarev fish yard, in which the bailiffs controlled fishermen's catch and collected tribute from them. In the 1940s, along the western and southern shores, a by-pass channel was built for the passage of ships. Today it is used mainly by small vessels

During the archaeological excavations of 1956, produced on the shore of the White Lake, a figure of a small fish from bronze was found. Apparently, it was a fish "zolopero" - a character well known in local folklore. Today, on the shore of the reservoir, the Golden Fishes are built, headed by a wooden carved palace in which the Lady of the Lakes and the Seas allegedly dwells.

Since 1964, the White Lake is part of the Sheksna Reservoir. On the northern shore it is the village of Lipin Bor, on the southern side is the town of Belozersk

Lake Beloe

Hotels

Nearly there are a lot of recreation centers near the lake. In Lipin Bor you can stay overnight in the tourist complex "Priozerye". In the village of Gavrilovskaya there is a guest complex "Kamenny Bor", in the village of Bereg - a shelter for a fisherman and a hunter "Bereg."

The cost of living is the most democratic - from 300-600 rubles per day per person.

There is an option to take a tent with you and stay at the lake shore. However, it should be noted that at night here (even summer) is pretty cool. We can not do without warm sleeping bags.

Sources and springs

Unique spring in the form of a medieval aqueduct in the village of Nikonovo. In addition to the fact that the water in it perfectly quenches thirst, it is also curative - it contains a large amount of silver. Therefore, when going on a journey, do not forget to bring a spring for the key water.

The most picturesque is the Kukov spring. Next to it is built a chapel, a gazebo and a swimming pool, so that all tired can not only drink cool water, but also have a rest.

Fishing on the White Lake

The most fishy shore is considered to be the northern one. At this point several rivers and streams flow into the Beloe (Kovzha, Kema). The branched delta here has long been overgrown with algae and reeds, so the conditions are more than favorable for fishing.

In the local waters there are such fish as: croissant and snack, crucian and pike-perch, pike and bream. Total - more than 29 species. The most valuable prey, of course, is pikeperch. In the White Lake it is large and fat. It is pike perch that is the main commercial fish. There were times when fishermen caught 12-kilogram individuals. If you're lucky, even today you can catch quite a large pike perch, as well as pike and bream. Fishing on the lake is possible at any time of the year.

5 things to do at the White Lake
  1. Go fishing. Since the main wealth of the lake is the fish, first of all they go here to fish. All year round in the village of Lipin Bor there are competitions for the best catch, the best fisherman and the best ear. Anyone can take part: both professional fishermen and just amateurs.
  2. Hunt. The area around the lake has long been fond of birds: hazel grouse, black grouse, capercaillie, duck. Fish-rich places are chosen for rest and flocks of migratory birds. In general, the conditions for hunting here are the most suitable. As for guns, cartridges and uniforms, you should not worry. All necessary for hunting will be provided by the local hunting complexes.
  3. To visit the fairy tale, that is to visit the Golden Fish Monastery, located in the center of Lipin Bor village, in a picturesque pine forest. Despite the fact that this wonderful park is built for children, even adults will be interested in it. Numerous attractions, an abundance of fairy-tale characters, playgrounds will not get bored for a minute. And souvenirs bought at the House of Crafts will be a pleasant reminder of a visit to the fairy park near Vologda.
  4. Drink some water in the spring. In the area of ​​the White Lake the tourist will find many springs with clean, cold and tasty water.
  5. Those who are indifferent to fishing and hunting can find many interesting things for themselves in the coastal forests. In the local places there are many berries: cranberries, cranberries, blueberries, raspberries. And thanks to the humid climate, mushrooms are always found here: white, boletus, chanterelles.
