Chistik, Protected lake in Demidov District, Smolensk Oblast, Russia.

Lake Chistik features a central island and sits within the borders of Smolensk Lakeland National Park, covering an extensive water surface at coordinates 55°30'23"N.

The lake emerged as part of the Smolensk Lakeland region, which gained national park status in 1992 after decades of industrial logging operations.

The lake area connects to the legacy of Russian explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky, who established a medical station in the nearby settlement during the 19th century.

Visitors can access Lake Chistik through the settlement of Przhevalskoe at 19 Gurevich Street, where information centers provide details about local activities.

The waters of Lake Chistik support multiple fish species including pike, perch, and ruffe, while the surrounding forest houses bears, wolves, and lynxes.
