About
Lake Bokon (Russian: озеро Бокон) is a large freshwater lake in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It has an area of 14.8 km2 (5.7 sq mi) and a maximum depth of 6 m (20 ft). There are no permanent settlements on the shores of the lake.
According to local folklore, the lake is haunted by a beautiful and virtuous Evenk girl who was magically swallowed by the icy lake. She dwells in the bottom and legend tells that occasionally she may appear above the surface.
