Lake Engozero

Engozero is a freshwater lake in northern Karelia, with an intricate shoreline of bays, islands and peninsulas. The Kalga leaves its eastern waters and runs to the White Sea, passing through a chain of smaller lakes. The lake sits within a broad forested drainage basin, where channels link open stretches of water with narrower rivers. Its Karelian name, Enkijärvi, preserves the language of the region's inhabitants.
