Pestovskoye reservoir is one of the artificial reservoirs in the Moscow canal system. This hydraulic structure was conceived and completed in the thirties of the last century as one of the elements of the general system that provides Moscow with water resources and maintains the water level in the Moscow River at an acceptable level for navigation. But in addition, the Pestovskoye reservoir has become one of the favorite vacation spots for several generations of Muscovites. Fortunately, it is located quite close to the capital.
Geographical and natural features of the reservoir
The Pestovskoye reservoir was formed in its current shore outlines in 1937, after the construction of a hydroelectric complex on the Vyaz River was completed. This reservoir is relatively smaller than the nearby Uchinskoye and Klyazma reservoirs. It is six kilometers long andits width does not exceed two kilometers. The maximum depth reaches fourteen meters. The water in the reservoir is flowing, its turnover is regulated. This, among other things, has a beneficial effect on the environment and creates an optimal regime for maintaining fish stocks at a high level. And this is one of the reasons why the Pestovskoye reservoir has become so popular among Muscovites and even guests of the capital. Good fishing and outdoor recreation are always provided here. And over time, along the entire coast, a sufficiently developed tourist infrastructure was formed for this. To have a good rest, it is absolutely not necessary to spend time and money on flights to distant tropical seas and oceans. For a person accustomed to the climate of the middle zone, the near Moscow region is quite enough for a good rest.
And many choose exactly this: rest by the water, a fire, a tent or a more comfortable hostel. The Pestovskoe reservoir can provide this to everyone. A convenient recreation center is located on the southern shore of the reservoir, not far from the dam that forms it. Lovers of sailing and water-motor sports feel very good here. The most popular piers are Khvoyny Bor, Tishkovo, Pestovo and Lesnoye. Closer to the northern shore of the reservoir are two islands covered with dense forest. This is a very good place for both fishing and camping. In general, the northern coast is most suitable for offline recreation, it is called "Coniferousboron" and fully corresponds to its name.
Pestovskoye reservoir. How to get there
You can get to the reservoir both along the Dmitrovsky and Yaroslavl highways, but it is separated from both of these highways by a fairly significant distance that has to be overcome along country and secondary roads. The distance from the Moscow Ring Road to the Pestovsky reservoir is about fifty kilometers. Departure directly to the coastline in many places along the coast is problematic. But on the northern shore of the reservoir you can find many convenient places for parking in the forest.
