The Kylshakty (Kazakh: Қылшақты; Қылшықты; Kylshakty) is a river in Northern Kazakhstan that flows through the Akmola Region in Central Kazakhstan. It is 104 kilometers (65 mi)[1] long and has a drainage basin spanning 1010 kilometers (390 square mi).[1][need quotation to verify]

Geography[]

The river starts in a birch forest on Semenov's Hill's western slope, flows west through Shchuchinsk, and bends north toward Frolovsky Pond before bending to the northwest. It crosses Bayanbai and passes two dams before it reaches Kenesary. It then flows through Lake Kopa in Kokshetau at an altitude of 223 m (732 ft) above sea level, then past the Zhaman-Karakalpak mountain. The river is 246 kilometers away from Kazakhstan's capital, Nur-Sultan.
