About

Barshyn (Kazakh: Баршын), also known as Barsen (Kazakh: Барсен), is a lake in Astrakhan District, Akmola Region, Kazakhstan.

The lake is located 35 km (22 mi) to the west of Astrakhanka, the district capital. The now abolished village of Kainarskoye (Kazakh: Қайнарское), part of the Uzynkol Rural District, was located by the southern shore. Three fishermen on a boat were lost in the lake in 2020. After a 3-day long search the bodies of two of them were located, but the body of the third was found only two weeks later.
