Red Lake (Kemerovo) is a favorite vacation spot of local residents. The pond has a convenient location and quickly warms up in the summer. To get to the Red Lake is not difficult, so in the summer people come in large numbers there to swim and take sun baths.
Why is the lake "red"?
The local pond received this name not by accident. Red Lake (Kemerovo) has long been considered unsuitable for swimming. Local residents said that enterprises drained industrial effluents into it. Others claimed that the pond accepts used sewage water. However, these guesses were not confirmed. In fact, Red Lake (Kemerovo) is the site of an old quarry. That is why the reservoir has a raised bottom. And it also has red crayfish. For these reasons, the lake received such a mystical name. As you know, crayfish love only clean water. Therefore, you can not worry about the pollution of the reservoir. This year, experts from Rospotrebnadzor repeatedly studied the water of the Red Lake, but did not find substances and microorganisms harmful to human health in it.
Danger of a local pond
Kemerovo residents endow Red Lake (Kemerovo) with mystical features. It was drowned several times by people. The reservoir really takes a leading place in the list of dangerous lakes in Kemerovo. Experts attribute this to the bottom of the reservoir. It has a complex relief, because it was formed on the site of a former quarry. For two meters the bottom of the lake is shallow. Then it quickly breaks off to a depth of 4 to 6 meters. Many people do not know this. They cross 2 meters, try to stand on their feet, but do not feel the bottom. Those who cannot swim well begin to panic. For this reason, several people died. In addition, pits in the lake were formed due to the fact that there for a long time they mined sand for construction purposes. For these reasons, mystical legends were made about the lake and tried to bypass it. But now everyone knows the true causes of the danger of the reservoir.
Why there is no comfortable beach
Almost every local resident knows where Red Lake is located in Kemerovo: Leningradsky Avenue, 1, building 1. And although the reservoir is very popular among Kemerovo residents, it is still not equipped with a beach. Municipal authorities explain this simply: the lake is dangerous for swimming due to the unfavorable bottom topography. Despite this, in the summer, the coastline of the reservoir is crowded with vacationers. People are not afraid of warnings about bottom irregularities. The water in the lake is clean and warm. Therefore, the reservoir is such an attractive recreation area.
How to get to Red Lake
The pond is located on Leningradsky Prospekt 1. Here is a recreation center of the same name. Therefore, visiting guests can fully enjoy the rest. Where is the Red Lake (Kemerovo), not everyone knows how to get there by public transport. There are three ways to get to the reservoir:
- By buses No. 19, 19K to the stop "Sewing factory - Entertainment center" Winter Cherry "".
- Minibuses No. 6t, 19t with a transfer to the Austronik shopping center (only on business days).
- In the summer, take minibus No. 46 to the stop "Lake Krasnoe".
You can swim in the pond in designated areas. But vacationers should be serious about ads that warn against bathing in prohibited places. Extreme swimming fines have increased significantly. Previously, vacationers paid about 300 rubles for such an offense, but now the amount has increased to 500–1000 rubles. And for "drunken heats" will have to pay about 3,000 rubles.
