7,190-acre lake near Vihti. The second-largest lake in Uusimaa, at Vihti near Helsinki. A zander, pike and perch water connected to Lohjanjärvi. The lake tops out around 25 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Vesi piirtyy 2 926 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 109.1 km, ja saaria on 12. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 5.7) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 46% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 15.8 km, leveimmillään 10.9 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Helsinki sub-region. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Lehmijärvi, 4.8 km etelään.
