Red Lake (Kemerovo): where is and how to get there

Red Lake (Kemerovo) is a favorite place for recreation of local residents. The pond has a convenient location and quickly warms up during the summer. It's not hard to get to the Red Lake, so people come there in the summer to bathe and take sun baths.

Why is the lake "red"?

Such a name a local body of water was not accidental. Red Lake (Kemerovo) has long been considered unfit for bathing. Local residents said that industrial wastes merged into it. Others claimed that the reservoir accepts used sewage water. However, these guesses were not confirmed. In fact, the Red Lake (Kemerovo) is the site of an old quarry. That is why the reservoir has a raised bottom. And in it live red cancers. For these reasons, the lake received such a mystical name. As is known, crayfish love only pure water. Therefore, the contamination of the reservoir can not worry. This year, experts from Rospotrebnadzor have repeatedly studied the water of the Red Lake, but found no substances harmful to human health and microorganisms.

Danger of a local water body

Kemerovo residents give the Red Lake (Kemerovo) mystical features. Several times people drowned in it. The reservoir really takes the leading place in the list of dangerous lakes in Kemerovo. Specialists attribute this to the bottom of the reservoir. It has a complex relief, because it was formed on the site of the former quarry. For two meters the bottom of the lake is shallow. Then it quickly breaks to a depth of 4 to 6 meters. Many people do not know this. They swim 2 meters, try to stand on their feet, but do not feel the bottom. Those who do not know how to swim well begin to panic. For this reason, several people died. In addition, the pits in the lake were formed due to the fact that sand was being mined there for a long time for construction purposes. For these reasons, the lake was composed of mystical legends and tried to bypass it. But now everyone knows the true causes of the danger of the pond.

Why there is no comfortable beach

Where is the Red Lake in Kemerovo, knows almost every local resident: Leningradsky Prospekt, 1, building 1. And although the reservoir is very popular with Kemerovo, it still does not have a beach.

Despite this, in summer the coastline of the pond is overflowing with vacationers. People are not afraid of warnings about the unevenness of the bottom. The water in the lake is clean and warm. Therefore, the reservoir is such an attractive recreation area.
