Gorodskoy Plyazh Na Reke Lososinka

City Beach on the Lososinka River is a beloved green pocket in central Petrozavodsk, tucked into the floodplain of the Lososinka River where a sandy shore meets a calm pond called the French Pond. Known locally as part of Zaretsky Park, this is where generations of Karelians have sunbathed, strolled across lacy footbridges, and watched the river spread wide beneath tall trees. The name "fountain" on Google Maps refers to the once-famous multi-jet water display that rose 20–30 meters from the middle of the pond in summer, nicknamed "Seplyakov's Jet" by locals. Although that fountain has been silent for years, the site remains a scenic recreation zone with ongoing renovation plans that promise to bring the water feature back in grand style.
