Onega

Onega, a lake of N. W. Russia, in the government of Olonetz, between lat. 60° 50' and 63° N.; extreme length 160 m., greatest breadth 50 m.; area, 4,000 sq. m. Its S. end is about 100 m. E. of the middle of Lake Ladoga, next to which it is the largest body of fresh water in Europe. The N. part is very irregular in shape. The surface is dotted with islands, the shores are generally rocky, and the water is clear. Navigation is impeded by shoals and sand banks. At its S. W. extremity it is connected with Lake Ladoga by the river Svir; and the Murinskoi canal unites its affluent the Vytegra with a tributary of Lake Bielo, the outlet of which flows into the Volga. It is, however, unconnected with the river Onega, which rises in Lake Latcha, on the S. border of Olonetz, and flows through Archangel into Onega bay, an inlet of the White sea.
