Lake Lipovskoe. Lake Lipovskoe (Leningrad Oblast, Kingisepp District): reviews and photos

The picturesque lake Lipovskoe is a natural miracle that stretches in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. He is rightly called the "little sea". This is the only saline pond in the Leningrad Region. It is filled with healing waters, in the thickness of which live freshwater and sea fish.

Location of the lake

In the north of the Kurgolovsky (Kurgalsky) peninsula, Lake Lipovskoe was spread. Kingisepp region, which occupies the territory of this peninsula, goes to the Gulf of Finland. The lake with the bay is connected by a wide channel - the Lipovka River. On this channel, saline waters enter the pond from the Gulf of Finland .

On the west coast is the village of Kurgolovo. The salt lake Lipovskoe enters the Narva basin.

How to get there?

You can drive to the lake from three localities: Lomonosovo, Sosnovy Bor and Ust-Luga. The road along which the travelers move to the pond is laid along the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Having reached Ust-Luga, the tourists turn to Lipovo and follow the village of Kurgolovo.

From here go either along the road laid along the lake, or along the route near the river Lipovka (this route is considered the best). Along the west coast, there is also a path leading to Lake Lipovskoe, but its condition is such that cars are hardly moving.

Description

The pool of the reservoir covers an area of 5.3 km 2 . The coastline is 7 km long. The width is between 700-800 meters. The central part of the lake is the deepest, the water column there reaches 5-6 meters. In the north the depth of the reservoir does not exceed 2, and in the south - 4 meters.

Form Lake Lipovskoe (Leningrad region) is similar to the estuaries located in the Krasnodar Territory. But the water in it, unlike them, is not standing still. Here the salty and fresh water masses constantly circulate and mix.

Features of the lake

Due to the proximity of the Gulf of Finland in the water body, the water level rises and falls. It rises noticeably at the time of the tides, and also when the western winds blow. During the east wind, on the contrary, there is a noticeable drop in the liquid level.

Sea water, penetrating the lake, gives it some saltiness. The concentration of salts in the "small sea" due to the arrival of rain and meltwater is not too great. In the water column of the lake is equally comfortable for marine and freshwater fish.

On the northern shore of the pond stretches a small village of Kurgolovo. Along the remaining coasts stretch virgin lands. Its east coast is covered with sand. In places there are boulders and pebble placers. There are small beaches and convenient approaches for fishing. In addition, the eastern coast is swamped and covered with water-loving vegetation.

The pond is framed by pine and deciduous forests. In places on its shores there are marsh swamps. In the vicinity of marshy areas come across occasionally. On the territories surrounding the pond, there are about a hundred species of animals that have fallen on the pages of the Red Book.

Ringed seals and gray seals arranged rookeries in the place where the channel, straight as an arrow, connects the Gulf of Finland and Lipov Lake. The photos taken in this virgin nook are stunning, they reflect the life of marine mammals.

The glacial lake, hidden in antiquity under the water strata of the Litor Sea, feeds mainly melted snow and precipitation. The bottom masses of the reservoir are mostly sandy. True, in some places sand is punctuated with pebbles and boulders.

Ichthyofauna

The distribution of animals is conditioned by the habitat. At the "small sea" with slightly saline water uncharacteristic ichthyofauna. On it a strong imprint imposed the Gulf of Finland. In the water column of the lake, perch, pike, bream and zander are neighbors with yazami and lampreys. Flounder and sea roach come here to spawn.

The bridge is a favorite place for fishermen in the Lipovka channel. The river is most popular in the spring. Pike, pike perch and perch fishers are fishing with the help of circles and spinning. The perch is caught in the sand, where the depth is not less than 2-5 meters. The weight of fish reaches 1.5 kg. In the channel a giant roach is caught, the individuals of which reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

In the season, they catch a smelt here. To catch her actively used "spiders". The eel enters the lake Lipovskoe. Reviews fishermen say that it is well caught in the night in coastal areas, the bottom of which is covered with sand. As a bait for eel anglers use zhivitsa or bundles of worms.

Large bream, weighing about 2 kilograms, according to fishermen, should be fed, otherwise not to catch. At night the bream is kept closer to the shore, at the point of transition to the depth. Day of fish are cautious, prefer to stay in deeper places of the lake, so they fish them out of the boat.

With the advent of spring, they begin fishing for ules, using worms and chocolates for bait. Lamprey is extracted with special nets or traps. The fish are quite large, about 40 centimeters in length. On autumn fishing occasionally it is possible to catch the Baltic salmon.

I catch pike perch in June. For a rich catch stockpile zhivotse or blessed. Early in the morning, before dawn comes, pike perch is caught in relatively shallow zones, the depth of which is 2-4 meters. With the approach of the day the fish departs to great depths and pecks at the foam rubber fish. Daytime biting is not as rich as the morning bite. His strength is renewed when dense twilight comes down.

Rest on the lake

For fishermen and travelers, Lake Lipovskoe enjoys incredible popularity. First, it attracts the wealth of ichthyofauna. Resting here attracts healing water, formed by rain masses and sea salts.
