Lake Kem

Kem Lake is rightfully considered part of the basin of the mighty Upper Volga River. And this is despite the fact that its area is almost tiny. It's just over two square kilometers. The lake itself is long. With a width of almost two kilometers, the length reaches up to nine kilometers. And the depth is generally funny, about a meter. The whole lake can be walked without soiling your outer clothes.

The lake is unkempt now. It has long been overgrown with algae that cover the water surface of carpets. And this despite the fact that several rivers flow into the reservoir - Yanishevka, Soyda and more than a dozen streams. The Kema River originates in the lake. Although, the locals perfectly remember the times when tons of fish were caught from the lake. It was sold all over the country. From those beautiful days, only memories remained, and a pine forest along the shores of the lake.
