Zhaksytuz (Kazakh: Жақсытұз) is a salt lake in the Ualikhanov District, North Kazakhstan Region, and Yereymentau District, Akmola Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
The border between the North Kazakhstan and Akmola regions cuts across the middle of the lake from east to west. The area surrounding lake Zhaksytuz is used for livestock grazing. In the spring the water is suitable for watering cattle.[2][3] The name Zhaksytuz, meaning "good salt" in the Kazakh language, is of nomadic origin.[4]
