Geography

Uzykol is part of the Ishim river basin, located about to the south of the Ishim river channel within the floodplain of the river. It is connected with neighboring lake Sabakty by a canal. The lake has a roughly oval shape with an attached bay in the east and another in the west. Often during floods, the Ishim river flows into Uzynkol. The lake shores are low-lying, has a muddy bottom and the water is saline and hard. It usually freezes at the beginning of November and thaws by the end of April.

Lake Sabakty lies to the north, Barshyn to the northwest, and Alakol to the southeast.Google Earth
