      • The lake's name translates from Finnish as "Far Lake".
      • The lake is shallow: average depth about 2.5 m, maximum about 3.5 m.
      • The water level is held by an 18th-century dam: canals between the Toksovo lakes fed the Okhta for the Petersburg gunpowder factory.
      • Archaeologists found a prehistoric settlement site on the southern shore.
      • The lake and surrounding forest are part of the Toksovsky Nature Park.
