Шәмилә, Protected lake in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia
Shamelya is a freshwater lake in Sakhalin Oblast, surrounded by taiga landscapes and wetland areas. The water body belongs to Russia's protected territories and supports specialized plant and animal life adapted to cold northern climates.
The lake received protected status in 1995 when Russia established its framework for preserving natural areas nationwide. This designation followed a broader effort to safeguard wetlands and lakes across Siberia.
The lake carries both Russian and Bashkir names, Shamelya and Shemile respectively, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the region.
Access to the lake requires permission from local authorities to protect its ecological sensitivity. The best time to visit is during warmer months when paths are more accessible and shorelines can be explored.
The lake is part of a nationwide network of several thousand protected natural areas that together encompass millions of hectares. Its remote location in the Sakhalin region means it attracts few visitors and remains relatively unknown.
