Shybyndy is an endorheic lake in the central Kazakh Uplands, 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the east of the Irtysh–Karaganda Canal. It lies in a basin surrounded by smooth hills. Its shape is ovoid and its shores are even, with no indentations. There are no islands on the lake[5]
A small intermittent river flows into Shybyndy from the southeast. There is agricultural land near the lake, mainly on the western side.[4][5]
Reeds and sedges grow by the shoreline. Many birds, mostly waterfowl, are found in the lake during their breeding season.[5]
