Kenon (Russian: Кенон) is a fresh water body in the Chita District, Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia.[2] The name of the lake originated in the Evenki language.[3]
The city of Chita is located near the lakeshore and lake Kenon is surrounded by residential areas, railways, highways and agricultural land. There is also a rather narrow city beach zone which is popular in the summer, although there is substantial pollution. Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeological remains were found by the shores of the lake.[3]
