Bayanaul (Kazakh: Бая́н ауы́л) is a national park of Kazakhstan located in southeastern Pavlodar Province. It was founded in 1985 and comprises an area of 50000 ha. The park serves as a popular vacation destination for residents of Pavlodar. The park has three freshwater lakes: Toraygir, Sabyndykol, and Jasybay. The first one was named after a Kazakh poet, Sultanmahmut Toraygirov who spent his childhood there.
In the summer of 1993, the first All-Republic Camp (National Jamboree) of the Organization of the Scout Movement of Kazakhstan, named "Jasybay's Arrow", was held at the national camp, Jasybay, named for a Kazakh mythic hero, near Bayanaul National Park.
