The Kyrshabakty (Kazakh: Қыршабақты) is a river in southern Kazakhstan.[1] It is a right tributary of the Shabakty, with a length of 95 km (59 mi) and a drainage basin of 805 km2 (311 sq mi).[2][3]

Course
The Kyrshabakty river has its source in springs located in the northern slopes of the
Karatau Range, near Baizhansai village. Its upper stretch is also known as Bogen (Kazakh: Бөген) and heads roughly northwestwards. Midway along its course it bends northwards. The river flows within a gorge, often with steep sides, all along. Finally the Kyrshabakty ends up in the right bank of the Shabakty, not far from Shabakty Railway Junction.[1]
There is water in the river all year round.[2]
