Lake Jasybay (Russian: Джасыбай, alternately Zhasybay) [1] is a lake located in Kazakhstan's Bayanaul National Park, about 85 miles south of Ekibastuz, in southeastern Pavlodar Region. The lake is 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) long and 1.9 kilometers (1.2 miles) wide.
It is a popular tourist destination for residents of central and northern Kazakhstan because of its clear water and scenic views of the surrounding mountains from its beaches.
It is named for Jasybay, a mythic Kazakh hero who was killed on its shore in a battle with invaders.
