Popis: The conducted research is aimed at assessing the current state of the tourist and recreational potential of the lake system in the region of North Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan). The research included the relationship between the distribution and natural diversity of reservoirs and landscapes and the density of the transport network of the studied region in the administrative division of the region. The aim of the research undertaken is to indicate the spatial differentiation of the conditions for t he development of tourism in relation to the degree of lake density and transport accessibility. The quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the lakes in terms of spatial diversity and transport accessibility in the region were presented. The anal ysis of the natural and recreational potential, with the use of statistical methods, satellite images, comparative analysis and field studies, made it possible to identify lake ecosystems that are already used or recommended for use as objects in tourism, as well as i n the national economy. The analysis of the road network allows to conclude that its density, despite the higher indicators than the national average, does not fully allow the use of the region's tourist potential and may constitute a barrier to its development.
