The Onega Canal (Russian: Онежский канал) is a canal that runs along the southern banks of Lake Onega in Vytegorsky District of Vologda Oblast and Podporozhsky District of Leningrad Oblasts in Russia. It was built 1818 – 1820 and 1845 – 1852 as a part of Mariinsk Canal System to allow small riverboats to avoid Lake Onega where storms are frequent and where many boats had perished through the centuries.
