Toktogul Reservoir was formed in 1976 by a Soviet-built dam across the Naryn River. The reservoir is long and narrow and is the largest in Central Asia (284 square kilometers, averaging 215 meters in depth). Highway M41 (Central Asia Pamir Highway) follows the northeast and southern shores, from the town of Toktogul (where the Chychkan River empties into the reservoir) to the dam near Kara Kol. While driving along the south side of the reservoir, the views to the north are sublime. Turquoise green water reflects rugged mountains with reddish and purple rock strata. There are several pullouts along the road where one can follow a dirt track to the lake shore for a hike, picnic, swimming or fishing (carp, pike, and trout). All of these activities are available at the town of Toktogul where there are guesthouses, restaurants, cafes and horses for rent. At the other end of the reservoir, a concrete dam 215 meters high generates 1,200 MW of electricity, supplying the area with power. GE Hydro and GE Renewables recently announced a project to expand the generating capacity to 1440 MW. Some of the power and water goes to neighboring Uzbekistan.
