Akkol, meaning "White Lake" (Kazakh: Ақкөл; Russian: Акколь; Chinese: 阿科尔),[1][2] is a salt lake in Zhangeldi District, in the SW sector of the Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan.[3][4][5]
Local authorities try to promote tourism in the lake, but the area lacks the necessary infrastructure. The nearest inhabited locality is Akhmeta Baytursynuly 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the east of the eastern shore.[3]
