Geography

Peschanoye lies in the Kulunda Plain, part of the West Siberian Plain. It has an elongated shape roughly oriented from east to west. The lakeshore is flanked in some stretches by steep, between 3 meters (9.8 ft) and 4 meters (13 ft) high, cliff-like banks. The Burla river flows into the lake from the east and out of it from the north. The water of the lake is fresh and its bottom is sandy.

Lake Khorosheye, also part of the Burla river basin, lies to the north and Khomutinoye close to the eastern end; both are connected with Peschanoye by channels. Pink lake Burlinskoye is located 26 kilometers (16 mi) to the south and Bolshoye Topolnoye 32 kilometers (20 mi) to the west.
