Lake Kubenskoye

Lake Kubenskoye receives the Kubena and other rivers of the northern forest, and its waters leave by the Sukhona towards the Northern Dvina. On a small rocky island stands the Spaso-Kamenny Monastery, founded in the thirteenth century and supported by lands and fisheries around the lake. A monastic survey in 1627 recorded a fish weir at the Sukhona's outlet, where the lake narrows into the river.
