Chikoy National Park (Russian: Чикой, национальный парк) was officially created in 2014, on the mountain-steppe border region of south-central Siberia and Mongolia. It is in the Krasnochikoysky District of the Zabaykalsky ("Trans-Baikal") administrative region of Russia. This places the park about 250 miles southeast of Lake Baikal, on the edge of the Lake Baikal ecoregion. The stated purpose for creating the park is the "preservation of unique natural complexes in the upper reaches of the river Chikoy".[1] While tourism and sport fishing will be encouraged, hunting and roads will be prohibited.[2][3]
