Lake Lizhmozero

Lizhmozero lies in southern Karelia, west of Lake Onega. The Lizhma flows through its broad waters and continues through Kedrozero and Tarasmozero towards a bay of Onega. Reeds grow along its shores, and the lake's name is linked to a Veps word for aquatic vegetation. Archaeological work along its banks has found evidence of ancient activity, placing the lake within a long-inhabited network of waterways and shore settlements.
