==Description==
The bay was formed during the filling of Novosibirsk Reservoir in 1957–1959.<ref name="multiple" />
The right bank is high and covered mainly with pine forest. The left bank is more gently sloping, with arable land; in addition, copses and shrubs are also sometimes found here.<ref name="multiple" />
During low-water period, especially in spring, the area of the reservoir decreases sharply.<ref name="multiple" />
In the coastal zone and in shallow water there are many old ruins that attract illegal archaeologists with metal detectors.<ref name="multiple" />
==Fauna==
Gulls, grey herons, ducks, ''[[Black kite|Milvus migrans]]'' (on August 1, 1995, a gathering of 110–140 black kites was seen here).<ref name="multiple" /><ref>[https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/materialy-po-ptitsam-novosibirska-i-ego-okrestnostey-1/viewer Жуков В.
