Kerzhenets River: fishing
Kerzhenets is popular not only among fans of picking mushrooms and enjoying the fresh air away from the bustle of the city, but also among fishermen, not only local, but also visitors. In some parts there are snakes, so stopping there is not recommended. You can fish from boats or while in rubber boots on the shore. Most often on the river they fly with a fly or with the help of spinning a chub and a pike. They live throughout the aquatic artery. In addition to these species, perch, roach are often caught, and there are even catfish and bream. The only drawback is that the specimens are not very large. Predatory species (perch, pike) live in places where there are many underwater vegetation and snags. The Kerzhenets river has very clear water, therefore, only approaching the shore, you can immediately see large flocks of fry. An indicator of the cleanliness of the reservoir are crayfish. There are a lot of them.
Forest holidays
What could be better than relaxing in a dense dense forest by the river? Many residents of the Nizhny Novgorod region and surrounding areas come to Kerzhenets in order to spend their holidays.

In this place you can not only relax fully, but also improve your health with coniferous air, which is healing. However, you need to be careful, wild animals such as wild boar, roe deer, hare, fox and others are found in the forest. Closer to the water you can find vipers and snakes.

The journey can be started from the village of Bydreevka or from the platform "Lake". It is easily accessible if there is no personal car, bus or train. Before rafting, it is advisable to conduct reconnaissance, as sometimes there are places in which there are a lot of fallen trees and underwater snags.
Kerzhenets is a river with a very narrow and winding channel at the beginning of the path. After about 10 km, a forest appears on the shore, which is ideal for equipping parking lots. Whirlpool zones are already beginning to occur in front of the village of Kerzhenets. There are at least three traps here. The shores are open, the forest is rare. But after the village, the entire coastal line was overgrown with pine trees. Going downstream, you can see the camp site. And after it, the vegetation already tightly covers the banks of the river from the eyes, approaching almost the water itself.
