Kaindy Lake ( _kz. Қайыңды) is a 400 meter long lake in Kazakstan that reaches depths near 30 meters in some areas. It is located 320 km from the city of Almaty and is 2,000 meters above sea level. It was created by the result of an enormous limestone landslide. The track to Kaindy lake has many scenic views to the Saty Gorge, the Chilik River valley and the Kaindy gorge. Dried-out trunks of submerged picea schrenkiana trees rise above the surface.
