Description The lake receives the waters of Lake Onega, of many rivers in Russia, and of Lake Saimaa and other lakes in Finland. The major outlet is the Neva River, which empties into the Gulf of Finland. The Ladoga Canal and other canals connect the lake to Saint Petersburg, the White Sea, and the Volga River valley. The lake is important commercially as a source of fish (Ref. 53495).
