The lake is famous for its wonderful landscapes, surrounding volcanoes, and also for bears, and there are plenty of them here. In fact, the lake is full of salmon, that’s why bears are never hungry here. Meanwhile, according to researchers, up to 1.7 million fish use the lake and its tributaries for spawning.
