The dam was built between 1950 and 1960 and is used to generate hydroelectricity at the Bicaz-Stejaru Hydroelectric Power Station. It has a height of 127 m (417 ft), a length of 435 m (1,427 ft), and a maximum width of 119 m (390 ft). The lake has a length of 40 km (25 mi), an area of 31 km² (12 sq mi)[1] and a maximum volume of 1,250 billion m³.

The lake is a tourist destination in the region, especially in summertime, when visitors take the ferryboat from the Bicaz port for a short trip on the lake, and to view Mount Ceahlău on the west shore.

In the 1960s and 1970s there was regular ferry service between the Bicaz port and the villages on the lake shore.

At Potoci, a few kilometers north of the town of Bicaz, there is a biological research facility, equipped with a small submersible used for underwater explorations. The facility was visited by the marine biologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau in 1984.

[ru] Биказ (водохранилище)

Озеро Бика́з[1] (рум. Lacul Bicaz, Изворул-Мунтелуй[2], Lacul Izvorul Muntelui) — водохранилище в Румынии, в регионе Западная Молдавия, на реке Бистрица в бассейне Дуная. Озеро Биказ образовалось при заполнении водохранилища ГЭС Биказ-Стежару[en] (ГЭС имени В. И. Ленина) — крупнейшей гидроэлектростанции на реке Бистрица, построенной в 1951—1961 гг. Установленная мощность ГЭС Биказ-Стежару 210 тысяч кВт[3], годовая выработка электроэнергии — 390 млн кВт·ч. Воздвигнутая на реке Бистрица плотина у Извору-Мунтелуй[ro] высотой 127 метров образовала водохранилище длиной 35 километров, площадью зеркала 33 тысяч гектаров и емкостью 1,23 млрд кубических метров. Водохранилище питает каскад из 12 ГЭС, расположенных на реке Бистрице ниже Биказа, общая установленная мощность которых составляет 244 тысяч кВт, а годовое производство электроэнергии — 750 млн кВт·ч[4]. Озеро Биказ расположено на территории жудеца Нямц.
