Blakytni Lakes

One of the best places for a holiday in Dnipropetrovsk oblast is the Blue Lakes near Kamianske. The lakes were formed thanks to human activity and nature's whim. Earlier, in the 70s of the 20th century, there was a sand quarry on this site, which was later filled by underground waters. That is how the Blue Lakes were formed.

Depending on the season, through the clear water you can see what lies at forty-meter depths. The only drawback of the Blue Lakes is the rapid development of the beaches by private recreation bases. So it will take a lot of time to find free access to the shoreline.

Interesting facts:

• The depth of the lakes reaches 50 and 80 m.
• The water surface area is 240.8 ha
• The quarry was created for the purpose of extracting sand needed for the construction of new houses in the left-bank part of the city.
