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]

Geography

Kenon lake is part of the Ingoda river basin, It is located in the Chita-Ingoda Depression (Читино-Ингодинская впадина), in the western outskirts of Chita, Zabaykalsky Krai. A few small streams flow into the lake. The main ones are the Ivanovka and Kadala rivers,[4] which have their sources in the neighboring Yablonovy Range. The outflow is through a 2 km (1.2 mi) long channel leading to the Ingoda that fills with water only in the wettest years.[3][5]

The lake is frozen between late October and early May.[3]
