About

Kushmurun (Kazakh: Құсмұрын; Russian: Кушмурун) is a brackish lake in the Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan.

Kushmurun is one of largest natural waterbodies of Kazakhstan. It lies in the northern sector of the Turgay Basin, at the border between Auliekol and Karasu districts, 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) north of the village of Kushmurun. The western side of the catchment area of the lake has been converted to agricultural land, affecting biodiversity.
