The district is located northeast of Lake Beloye and the area of the lake is divided between Vashkinsky and Belozersky Districts. Much of the area of the district belongs to the basin of Lake Beloye and thus of the Caspian Sea. In particular, the Kovzha River, one of the main tributaries of the lake, forms the western border of the district, and the Kema River, another major tributary, crosses the district from north to south. Most of the area of the district is in the Kema's drainage basin. The eastern and northeastern parts of the district belong to the basin of the Onega River, which flows to the White Sea.
