      • Hepojärvi means "Horse Lake" in Finnish.
      • It is the second-largest of the Toksovo lakes after Kavgolovskoye; all of them are of glacial origin.
      • The Morye river, which flows into Ladoga, runs out of the lake through a dam.
      • In the 18th century the Peter's Canal was dug from here to supply water to the Okhta for the gunpowder factories.
      • From the southern shore you can see an Orthodox church, a Lutheran church and ski slopes all at once.
