Zavidovo National Park (Russian: Национальный парк «Завидово») is a complex of forests and wetlands located in Tver Oblast and Moscow Oblast, Russia. The area is abundant in game animals and has been a notable hunting reserve for government officials. Since 1994, the area has come under stricter environmental protections, with national park status conferred in 2019. But the area is still heavily used for recreation and there are many private settlements and vacation plots interspersed among protected zones. One activity of the complex is to conduct research into methods for productive hunting. The park is located 50 km south of the city of Tver, and 100 km northwest of Moscow.
