Ubinskoye (Russian: Убинское озеро) is a freshwater lake located in the Baraba steppe in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia, where it is divided between Ubinsky District in the west and Kargatsky District in the east. The name of the lake derives from Siberian Tatar ubu, meaning swamp or marsh.[1]
Ubinskoye is surrounded by several villages, the largest of which is Chernyy Mys on the northern shore.[1] According to legend, Kuchum, the last Khan of Sibir, sank his treasure in the lake while fleeing from the Russians.[2]
