Katashi Lake, located near Kobrin, is often chosen by residents of the Brest region for outdoor recreation, camping, and picnics. The high pine forest and clean sandy beaches make this body of water attractive to different categories of vacationers. Lake Katashi is man-made, it arose on the site of a former sand quarry. Previously, there were several unrelated springs located here. But before the 1980 Moscow Olympics, active road construction began, including the Brest-Moscow highway. And the sand for the construction of the highway section was mined in this particular quarry. Later, the management of the Zarya collective farm, which took over the quarry, decided to continue the development. After the work was completed, the quarry gradually filled with water, and a lake appeared. This explains the correct shape of the reservoir, the flat bottom and gentle sandy shores. According to historical sources, Verkhovskaya Mountain was previously located on the site of the lake, next to it was the village of Verkhi. Later, the village was gradually absorbed by the larger settlement of Katashi, which gave the lake its name. Local residents appealed to the leadership of the region with proposals to return the area, including the lake, to the historical name - Verkhovskoye. But this project is not being considered yet. There are fish in the lake: carp, burbot, carp, bream. The forest along the banks is mostly coniferous, interspersed with low shrubs. Wild raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and blueberries grow along the shores, and locals often go here to pick berries. On the shores of Lake Katashi, it is only possible to relax as a savage in their own tents. The local collective farm, which owns the territory, monitors cleanliness, timely thinns the forest and cleans the shores of the lake, but there is not enough funding for camping.

Wonderful beach. The locals call it the Belarusian Maldives. We were in the afternoon in the middle of the week, there weren't many people. White, clean sand, without debris and cigarette butts. The water is clear, but grass grows from the middle of the lake, and it's not very pleasant to swim over it. It's deep right by the shore, you don't have to go far. There are gazebos for free. You can rent a sap (inflatable board with paddle) for the price of 25 rubles. There's a bathroom, but I'd rather not go there. 😅

The beach is pretty. The view at the top of the hill is impressive. I take off the star for the fact that Dad is in shallow water, and then the sharp depth of the water. And you can't reach the bottom. Probably a former quarry. There are a lot of people, so everyone is crowded, since not everyone will swim to such a depth, you can't let children go swimming alone. The water is not as clean as it was written, there is a lot of grass with thorns

Super beach, everything is provided. There is an outdoor toilet, garbage containers. The entrance to the water is fenced off for small children. There is also a stall where you can buy snacks (boiled corn, hot dogs, shawarma, pancakes with stuffing, as well as cold drinks). I recommend you to visit.

It's a beautiful place. Clean water.Cool beaches.Lots of sand. There are playgrounds for football and volleyball. Crayfish swim at night. Good entrance. There are toilets, trash cans and changing rooms. And now the cons. During the season, especially on weekends, there are just unrealistically many people. They will be ready for noise and music all day and night. There are noisy and drunken companies all around. And of course motorcycles and quadriceps. From morning to night. It is better to go on weekdays. Well, or just for a day to sunbathe and swim. Enjoy your stay.

The place is interesting. The water is clean and was warm at the time of arrival. Sand dunes attract not only children, but also adults. There is a swimming area for children on the beach and a lifeboat station with a board project. You can grab something to eat at the nearby food truck. But there must be a fly in the ointment in every interesting place. It killed people's attitude to the environment. Garbage and toilets in the bushes, where there are dumpsters on all sides and even a toilet. From the side of the pine forest there are remnants of camps and for some reason no one stands in their place. They make new ones from the same sticks and stretch films. Is it really that hard to clean up after yourself? And I'll make a reservation right away for those who are picky about smells. From the neighboring cowshed, the smell of the guests' vital activity is periodically heard. Although these are small things compared to all of the above. People! Take care of nature! You and I need to save it for our children! Clean up after yourself and those who have fallen behind with their heads.

Katashi, Katashi! The resort! Rave reviews, piles of cars at the entrance, the chicest place to relax ... But in fact - an ordinary flooded sand pit from the time of the construction of the route to the Moscow Olympics-80. One of the advantages is really beautiful sand, and fairly clean water. One of the disadvantages is that the same sand in the water does not wash off the body until it is ready, and from swimming trunks / swimwear - only after washing. The bottom is rapidly sinking down - about 2 meters deep at 5 meters from the shore. 2 toilets made in a square-nest way are also notable, so many places in the forest are marked with toilet paper Overall, 2 out of 5

The lake is like a lake, there is nothing more than natural, plus good sand...but there is not a single flat area where you can sunbathe normally, parking for cars is not organized, there is nowhere to change clothes, there are no toilets nearby, There is nowhere to buy drinking water.The dumpsters are far away.Just a wild beach with a lifeguard station.The second half of the beach, where you can stay overnight in an organized manner, a couple of dumpsters and a couple of toilets....there is no road with a low suspension, there is nothing to do there.It is not possible to safely approach the water everywhere. The shop in the village is not working, we have to go to the neighboring village. Conclusion-rest is possible if you organize well and take everything you need with you.

Believe me, there are few such especially beautiful places in Belarus, I have been traveling to such places for more than one year and know a lot about it; clean water, amazing white sand like in famous resorts of the planet and all this is surrounded by a pine forest with clean air far from large cities and enterprises.To spend a week of vacation here only for the joy and benefit of health, To get to the lake.Katashi is best done by private transport or taxi.Take food, meat, coals with you, if there is an auto-refrigerator in the car or at least a thermo container with coolers, then you can stay for a long time.Also, drinking water can be collected in the village to its about 2 km.There is also a small shop there, but you don't really count on it, it happens that there is not even bread.Have a great holiday, everyone.

This is our best beach in 2024! If you are traveling to or from Brest and do not come here, it is a sin. After 10 minutes, the children all said - what do we care about these locks - we stay here!) The lake is on the site of a quarry, formed in 1979, the depth is up to 20 meters, the slope of the shore is strong. You can barely reach the bottom 5 meters from the shore. The water is the purest. The sand is clean, snow-white and warm. There is a cubicle, a toilet and a toilet. Stop by and you won't regret it!

It was a great place a few years ago: now the toilets are in terrible condition; the nearest forest is polluted with feces; many people cut down live trees for firewood instead of bringing charcoal with them; the bottom is rapidly overgrown with algae and in some places it is impossible to swim without getting tangled in the vines of prickly underwater vegetation; along the beach they ride ATVs and motorcycles day and night; drunken karaoke can shake the forest with loud screams to music until 5-6 in the morning; very small bins on the beach are constantly overflowing with garbage (((

A great place to relax on the opposite shore for a long stay. This is the third year my family and I have been coming here. But there is one drawback. Exhibits with large speakers arrive. And a couple of them have to explain that in such places the music is until 23.00. There are a lot of children in this area. We plan to park in this city for 2 weeks👍👍👍

A very beautiful lake Katashi is surrounded by a pine forest, it is a former baked quarry. White sand like the sea, clear clear water, but slightly cool. We are on the lake at an air temperature of 25. Maybe it warms up better in hotter weather. The depth comes abruptly, three meters from the shore, you can't really swim in this for kids, and I was afraid🤣 There are garbage containers, toilets. To my great surprise, an employee went and collected the garbage himself near the tents (I have not seen this on any lake), we kindly said that we always clean up after ourselves, so as not to bother a person once again, and it is our duty to keep the place of rest clean.

There are a lot of places on the beach, but everything is cramped closer to the shore.. The place is sunny, and there are 3 protective places in the form of umbrellas. Like it'll do just fine. There's a forest nearby where adults are relaxing, and of course they drink, and when they come to swim, they don't notice anyone around them, they were with a child, and it's scary. An inadequate woman pushed me + dropped a 5 liter bottle of water on my foot. Wonderful vacation 👍 In short, most of all there are not enough beach umbrellas, shade. with a child, it would be relevant. Well, I'm not talking about the parking space..

It's a cool beach, and it doesn't matter that it's so far from Minsk. The sand is like in European resorts. Nature is great, there are no mosquitoes, a few ants, but they don't bother much. I advise everyone who is no stranger to real beauty! Oh, yes, We didn't take fishing rods, thinking that there would be no fish, but she really swims with you and is not afraid of a person.

The beach is good, there are a lot of places to stay, but not equipped. There are no changing rooms, only two umbrellas, one wooden toilet. There are a lot of people on weekends in good weather. Usually, places closer to the road, good access to the water and the opportunity to hide in the shade are dealt with first. Plus, there are huge expanses of sand hills where you can settle down, but it will be away from the car, you need to carry things.

The sand and the sun are just super! The wind during the day and even a downpour at night could not spoil our mood and impression of such beauties! You can drive around the entire lake to find a suitable place to relax. You can camp with a tent, both near the beaches and along the entire coast in the forest. There are dumpsters, but no proper toilets. We will definitely come back here again!

There is one catering point with water and homemade cakes. There is a RAIPO shop not far from the village. But with toilets, it's generally a complete jamb, we found only one, a rustic one, and to go into it is already a whole feat. So, as you know, the whole pine forest is mined. And there is nowhere to hide from the sun on the beach, from the word, in general!!!
