From 1929 to 1937, carried out by the river logging Sotq Pinezhsky LESPROMKhOZ. Cuttings were sampled were conducted seasonally from November to April, skidding and hauling performed on horses, so the area remained intact and quickly recovered. From 1963 to 1973, carried out continuous conditionally selective logging in the area of ??lakes and Kumichevo Sychev. When cutting chosen softwood, birch and aspen have remained standing, which led to a rapid reforestation clearings by hardwood.

The main rivers are the territory of the river Pinega and Weaving (the latter is located outside the reserve, but it drains the eastern and south-eastern part). The river Hundreds within the reserve is 30 km, the incision of the river is 45 meters.

Of considerable interest is absorbed in a series of caves or periodically disappearing small rivers and streams. They are characterized by a full, one-time transition to the underground transit (Kumichevka river, streams Pehorovsky, Curve) or periodic absorption in the boards of karst caves and dens (Karjala river, streams in the North and the Holy logs). Trapped in the failed wells or unloaded in the sides of karst logs, streams form waterfalls, the largest of them is the waterfall at the entrance to the cave Pehorovsky failure.
