Mariy Chodra National Park, National park and nature reserve in Morkinsky District, Russia
The 36,600-hectare park contains dense forests, rivers, and several karst lakes, including Lake Yalchik, Lake Glukhoe, and Lake Kichier.
The territory gained national park status in December 1985 through a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
The name translates to 'Mari Forest' in the Mari language, reflecting the deep connection between the indigenous Mari people and their natural environment.
The park restricts access to its northeastern preservation zone and implements seasonal limitations to protect the ecosystem from excessive visitor impact.
The Ilet River flows through the park with numerous tributaries such as Yushut, Petyalka, and Uba, creating a diverse water system.
