Озеро Сенеж — это водохранилище. Оно образовалось еще в 1826 году во время строительства канала между реками Сестра и Истра. Это понадобилось для того, чтобы доставлять камень с Волги для строительства московского Храма Христа На создание канала ушло почти 25 лет. Однако со временем он оказался ненужным, и его забросили. Стоит отметить, что Сенеж — самое старое из всех подмосковных водохранилищ. Оно не очень глубокое — в среднем 4-6 метров.
Озеро Сенеж
Озеро Сенеж — излюбленное место рыбаков. Здесь водятся судак, щука, окунь, плотва, карп, карась и другие виды рыб. Однако заядлые рыбаки считают, что для того, чтобы похвастать хорошим уловом, нужно знать некоторые тонкости. Дело в том, что вода в озере очень прозрачная, а любителей половить рыбку — много. Из-за этого рыба очень осторожна, требует деликатности. Кроме того, нельзя забывать, что порывы ветра здесь бывают довольно сильными и могут вмиг перевернуть лодку.
В 1898 году рядом с озером Сенеж жил художник Исаак Левитан. В усадьбе Богородское он написал свою последнюю картину «Озеро. Русь».
Можно и просто поваляться на пляже и искупаться. На берегу есть лодочная станция, много кафе, которые работают даже осенью. Есть Дом отдыха и творчества художников «Сенеж», неплохая гостиница, коттеджи для отдыха. Для автомобилей предусмотрены парковки. Кстати, отсюда рукой подать до знаменитой усадьбы Александра Блока Шахматово. Так что на озере Сенеж можно отдохнуть с пользой.

“Good job,” Dad SAid and everyone became quiet again.
“How long do we have to wait? When will they bite?” I whispered.
“I doNOT KNOW,” Dad whispered back and a moment later he was holding a little, silver fish.
“See?” he turned to me. “But this one is too small. We’d better let it go and wait for the next one.” And he let His fish go.
