Garanohur ( - from Azerbaijani gara - "black" and nour, nohur - "lake", "reservoir", "swamp") is an alpine lake located in the Ismayilli district of Azerbaijan (8 km northeast of the city of Ismayilli), at an altitude of about 1520 m above sea level, in the basin of the Garanohurchay river, in the Greater Caucasus.
Before the asphalt road to Lahij was laid in 1966, the town of Garanohur served for a long time as a transit point from the city of Ismayilli to Lahij. According to the director of the Ismayilli Tourist Information Centre S. Suleymanov, the lake Garanohur is one of the places for future tourism in the region.
