Lake Kovada National Park

Lake Kovada National Park extends across 6,534 hectares of land, featuring a shallow lake with green waters surrounded by dense pine forests and limestone formations.

The Turkish government established Lake Kovada National Park in 1970, later elevating its protection status to level one in 1992 to safeguard the ecosystem.

The park exists within a network of three lakes, including Burdur and Beysehir, forming a natural corridor that reflects traditional Turkish approaches to land preservation.

Visitors access the park through a 23-kilometer road branching from the Isparta-Egirdir-Konya highway, with multiple walking paths leading to observation points.

The lake waters contain specific sediments that create a distinct green color and limit underwater visibility to 1.5 meters, hosting freshwater lobsters and various fish species.
