Beloye (Russian: Белое, meaning White) was a small freshwater lake in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.

It is speculated that the lake drained into an underground river or cave system due to subsidence.

[1][2] Seventy years before the 2005 disappearance, in 1935, several houses were destroyed under similar circumstances.

In 1600, there was a church standing where Beloye Lake was, which sank into the ground over a day.
