Kurilskoye Lake

Kurilskoye Lake is famous for being one of the largest salmon spawning area in Kamchatka. Estimated amounts of fish spawning is roughly 6 million species.

Spawning lasts from August till November and reaches its highest point in October. During this period one can see a lot of small & big animals appearing along the lakeshore. Fish also attracts Kamchatka's huge brown bears. Near the Lake a purpose built special safe viewing tower has been built to observe the astonishing scenes of bears fishing in their natural habitat.

Accommodation in a small cozy wooden lodge on Grassy Point. The lodge is two stories with 2 bunk rooms of 5 people each on the second floor. One, 5 person bunk room and a dining room are situated on the first floor. A "wrap around" deck affords a gorgeous view of Kurilskoye Lake and surrounding mountains. Often it is possible to watch bears fishing along the lakeshore without even leaving the territory of the lodge.
