Synevyr is the largest lake of natural origin in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It is located between the mountains, among the spruce forests at an altitude of 989 meters above sea level in the northern part of the National Park "Synevyr".

Synevyr Lake is recognized as a wetland of international importance (Ramsar Convention) and is one of the seven natural wonders of Ukraine. It belongs to the type of overburden. It was formed about 10-11 thousand years ago, as a result of the powerful shift of indigenous sandstones that broke off the southern slope of the Red Mountain and blocked the ancient valley of the Synevyr stream.

The water level in the lake is constantly changing: it decreases in winter and raises in spring and summer, and then falls again in the autumn, in accordance with the influx of water from three permanent streams and temporary - during the period of intense melting of snow and showers. The amplitude of the fluctuation of the water level in the lake reaches 4.0-4.5 m., accordingly the area of the water mirror varies from 4.45 to 7.58 hectares. The largest depth is from 19 to 23.5 m.

The speed of the lake is provided by the Synevyr stream, flowing 350 m west of the lake under a landslide 60 m below the level of its ridge mark. The water in Synevyr Lake is fresh. Its temperature is quite low even in the summer and is 10-15⁰C.

Near the mountain reservoir periodically registered birds that are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine: stork black, small cartilage. This site supports the existence of a number of species of species important for the conservation of biodiversity in the region, including lake, river, marsh and forest ecosystems.
