Alma Gol Lake (Persian: دریاچه آلماگل), also called Lake Ulmagol, is a freshwater lake in Golestān Province, Iran near the Turkmenistan border.
The lake is located 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of Gonbad-e Qabus. The population of catfish (Silurus glanis) in the lake has drastically decreased because of increasing population growth among the villagers.
Alma Gol is a winter habitat for migratory birds.[1] In 1975, the Alma Gol Lake and nearby Ala Gol and Aji Gol Lakes were designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.[3]
