Various review guides report that the lakes of the Sverdlovsk region in the amount of more than 2.5 thousand have a total water mirror area of about 1100 m 2. And this is without taking into account the many artificial reservoirs that arose during the time of Nikita Demidov, during the construction of ironworks and foundries. But even the most extensive reference book is not able to convey all the charm, beauty and uniqueness of the Ural nature.

Fishing
The rivers and lakes of the Sverdlovsk region are in great demand among fishermen, because you can fish in all water bodies, and no special permits are required for this. Printing houses of the region have published many route maps and schemes of optimal access to water bodies, as well as booklets and reference books with a description of the fish that live in them. The purity of lake water in different reservoirs is not the same, but you can catch perch, chebak and ruff in any of them. Some are so pure that crayfish live in them. That is why many tourists and fishermen choose the lakes of the Sverdlovsk region for recreation.
Lake Shchuchye
The pearl of the Beloyarsky district, Lake Schuchye absolutely lives up to its name. A rare fisherman leaves here without having obtained a good specimen of pike as a valuable trophy. There is a large perch and a chebak. Clear water and a small number of vacationers (due to heavy roads and an inconvenient access) have become for fishermen and tourists who prefer a "tent" vacation, a kind of brand name that distinguishes Lake Shchuchye from other reservoirs. Sverdlovsk region is famous for its beauty and vastness, but when you want to be alone with yourself, you can not find a better corner.
Reaching two and a few kilometers in length and a little more than one and a half in width, having the right oval shape and low, covered with mixed forest shore, the lake is an ideal place for outdoor activities. A mud-sandy bottom and a five-meter average depth are ideal for a forest pond. Sandy beaches are equipped for swimming. Another advantage of this reserved place is free entry and entry to the lake.
Way to Pike
Lake Schuchye is located 60 kilometers from Yekaterinburg in the direction of Kamensk-Uralsky. To get to it, you should turn right in front of the village of Bolshebrusyansky - at Chernousovo, where Iset crosses the bridge. It is only 8 km from Chernousovo to Shchuchye, but the road is dirt and very poor, so only a powerful off-road vehicle can pass this stretch of the road.
Lake Tavatuy
A natural monument of federal significance, the beautiful lake Tavatuy, stretched from north to south for ten kilometers and reaching three kilometers in width, is connected by a channel with an artificial Verkh-Neuvinsk pond. A 21 km water mirror cuts through islands in several places. Purity and transparency of water are provided by about 30 rivers and streams flowing into it, the largest of which are the Big Shamanikha and Vitimka.
Fishermen have long been fond of these places: Lake Tavatuy has always been famous for excellent fishing for burbot, ide and roach. Sverdlovsk Region is protected by this hydrological natural monument located at an altitude of 263.5 m above sea level. The maximum depth of the reservoir reaches 9 m, the average - a little less than 6 m. On the shores of the lake there are settlements - Kalinovo, Priozerny and the same name Tavatuy. Vacationers are warmly welcomed by many tourist camps and pensions.
Getting to the lake is easy. Being a favorite vacation spot and located just 50 km from the capital of the Middle Urals, the body of water constantly takes tourists, some of which are delivered by electric trains, and some are reached by road on the road to Nizhny Tagil, turning 42 or 45 km.
