      • The backwater is not an old river channel but a sand quarry dug in the 1960s for the construction of Shchukino and Khoroshyovo-Mnyovniki.
      • It is the widest body of water within Moscow's limits: about 1.9 km from west to east.
      • The average depth is about 5 m, but there are pits 15–30 m deep.
      • The bay does not yet appear in German aerial photos from 1942.
      • In 2005 the floodplain received the status of a specially protected natural area as part of Moskvoretsky Park.
