Lake Beloe. Ryazan region and its pearl

The nature of the Meshchersky region is sometimes striking. Dense forests, a variety of flora and fauna, clean water. One of the pearls of Meshchera can be called Lake Beloe (Ryazan Region). 22 kilometers from the town of Spas-Klepiki (150 km from the capital) is located this pond of karst origin. Millennia ago, water paved its way in the mountains, forming secret caves. Over time, they collapsed, and in their place appeared a huge pit with water. The reservoir in the Klepikovsky district of the Ryazan region is unusually deep and clean, like all lakes formed in this way. There are many of them in any territory. Their names are traditional for all areas. Practically in any region you can find the Holy, Light or Lake White. The Ryazan region boasts one of the most picturesque similar sources.

Forest tracts on all sides border the water surface. The depth of the lake is 52.5 meters. Although there are places where the measurements show 101 meters. It is thanks to this depth that it freezes to the very last in this region. Its area is more than 33 hectares, the coastline stretches for 2.2 km. The vegetative and animal world of the reservoir is diverse and unusual. For example, a half-moon - a plant that has been preserved since the ice age - is a witness of a long-ago era. It can be found only in three areas: Ryazan, Vladimir and Moscow - at the bottom of karst lakes. But as for the fauna, it is also rich in Lake Beloe (Ryazan region). Fishing here will be very, very exciting. Of course, it will be difficult to catch anything in the summer, but near the shore the prey can be very abundant: pike, line, yazi, roach, and perch. True, a large number of holidaymakers may well disturb the peace and tranquility necessary for fruitful fishing. And when there is ice, lovers of winter fishing will feel completely in their element. Fans of frothy beer in the season can please themselves with freshly caught crayfish.

Holidaymakers can be found here at any time of the year. And there can be several options for pastime. Enjoy the stunning nature, and at the same time a little cure is possible if you come to a sanatorium. Lake Beloe (Ryazan Region) is also a haven for tourists who prefer a "wild" holiday in tents. With the arrival of warm days on the banks begin to appear tents. Fans of scuba diving with pleasure sink to the depth. True, locals try to limit access to the lake to strangers, build fences that reach the water itself, and therefore it is only possible to approach the lake from the south and west. On the other hand, a large flow of tourists leads to a gradual contamination of the reservoir, although the gardeners contribute "their own" by dumping waste into the water. This deterioration in the environmental situation forced the local authorities to take urgent measures. Thanks to this at the moment, vacationers have stopped washing cars in the lake and leave them far from the water, on the banks are equipped with fireplaces, and garbage is stacked in specially designated places.

Far beyond Meshchera Lake of Beloe is famous. Ryazan region with its pearl attracts many guests who come here for beauty and new impressions.
