Lake Pyasino (Russian: Пясино) is a large freshwater lake in Krasnoyarsk Krai, north-central part of Russia. It is located at 69.67°N 87.86°E / 69.67; 87.86 and has an area of 735 km². Many rivers empty into the lake. Pyasina River flows from the lake. Pyasino freezes up in October and stays icebound until June. As the recipient of polluted waste water from Norilsk Nickel's metallurgical plants, it is almost completely devoid of fish.
