Nohur Lake is located in a natural groove among Gulluburun, Goydagh and Yumuru mountains. Nohur ghol which existed as a natural lake until 1949, used to be surrounded by a swamp covered with dense reeds and water plants and there was a lake with yellowish-green water in a deep groove in the central part of it. In 1949 a water-storage reservoir was constructed in the south part of this lake. Water of Damiraparan and Vandam rivers is spilt into Nohurgishlag reservoir. This lake within the populated area near Gabala – Ismayilli - Baku motor way is one of the most visited. Nohurgishlag water-storage reservoir has also a great contribution to the development of aquaculture and rowing sport. In winter thickness of the ice cover on the surface of the lake can reach 40-50 cm.
