Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox body of water
Lake Donuzlav (Russian and Ukrainian: Донузлав, Шаблон:Lang-crh), also referred to as Donuzlav Bay, is the deepest lake[1] of Crimea (Шаблон:Cvt) and biggest in Chornomorske Raion (Шаблон:Cvt). It is a protected landscape and recreational park of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
The lake is as salty as the sea near its mouth but bottom springs make the water much less saline near the head.
Overview
Technically it is no longer a lake but rather a bay since 1961, when a 200-metre width canal was washed through the sandy peresyp separating it from the Black Sea, when the construction of a Шаблон:Ill started.[2] The peresyp length is about Шаблон:Cvt with widths varying between Шаблон:Cvt to Шаблон:Cvt.[3][1]
Donuzlav is located in Chornomorske and Saky raions (districts) at the Tarkhankut Peninsula[1] as well as Yevpatoria Municipality. Donuzlav is one of several lakes located around the peninsula.[1]
The length of Donuzlav is Шаблон:Cvt, a width is up to Шаблон:Cvt, an area of Шаблон:Cvt and a depth is up to Шаблон:Cvt.[1] It has several small bays.[1] Banks are high, steep, and winding.[1] At separate parts of the lake, a wetland vegetation is common (i.e. common reed, cattail, others).[1]
In the upper portion of the lakes are located two dams for fish farming, in the mid portion is a naval base.[1] On the banks there is a wind-powered energy station (Шаблон:Ill) with 53 wind turbines.[1]
To the lake are headed several gulches (semi-dried streams) among which are Staryi Donuzlav, Donuzlav, Chernushka, and Burnuk.
In the northern part there is a Шаблон:Ill of area 2,335 hectares.

Military bases
Donuzlav was the location of the Шаблон:Ill of the Soviet Union. The base was particularly notable for housing air-cushioned landing craft (Шаблон:Sclass2). After the dissolution of the Soviet Union it was converted into the Southern Naval Base of Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On 5 March 2014, during the Crimean crisis of 2014, Russian sailors scuttled two Russian Black Sea Fleet vessels, the anti-submarine ship Шаблон:Ship and the rescue tugboat Shakhter, at the entrance to Donuzlav Bay to prevent Ukrainian Navy ships from accessing the Black Sea[4][5][6][7] and established the Russian naval base there, reinstating its previous name.
Early on 1 February 2024, the Ivanovets, a Russian Tarantul-class corvette, was sunk in Lake Donuzlav after an attack by surface drones.[8][9]
The Soviets also established the Donguzlav air base near the lake. It was decommissioned in 1995, but has been reused by the Russian military since the Russo-Ukrainian war.[10][11][12]
