Bolshoye Chebachye Lake
Үлкен Шабақты көлі
A large lake north of Lake Burabay with rocky shores and scattered islets, peaceful bays and a favourite overnight spot for drivers and campers.
Bolshoye Chebachye covers about 22 square kilometres. Its shores are mostly granite slabs and pine forest, and there are several small islands in the lake. Resorts and beaches line the north shore, and the east shore has many campsites. It is a great alternative to the crowds of Lake Burabay. The lake lies about 8 km from the town of Burabay and can be reached by car or bicycle, though part of the road is dirt. Mosquitoes are plentiful in summer, so bring insect repellent.
