Lake Bicaz, also known as Izvorul Muntelui, is a 32 km2 (12 sq mi) navigable man-made reservoir created by a dam built on the Bistrița River between 1950 and 1960 to generate power at the Bicaz-Stejaru hydroelectric plant. Its maximum depth is 97 m (318 ft). In Potoci, a few kilometers north of the city of Bicaz, there is a biological research facility, equipped with a small submersible used for underwater exploration.

Mount Ceahlău, in the Bistriţa mountain range, division of the Eastern Carpathians, in Neamţ County, has an altitude of 1907 m (6,257 ft). It is integrated into the Ceahlău National Park and has ski slopes.
