Karagaykul Lake

Karagaykul Lake spans across the southern Ural Mountains region, featuring clear waters surrounded by dense forests and mountainous terrain at coordinates 54.673103N, 59.60179E.

The lake earned its protected status during the late Soviet period when environmental conservation efforts recognized its ecological importance for the Bashkortostan region.

Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices at Karagaykul Lake, following methods passed down through generations of Bashkir and Russian communities.

Visitors can access the lake through regional roads connecting to nearby settlements, with optimal visiting conditions occurring during summer months from June to August.

The lake serves as a research station for scientists studying rare aquatic plant species that exist exclusively in the southern Ural Mountain water systems.
