Vezirsuyu National Park, Nature park in Samsun, Turkey.
Vezirsuyu National Park is a nature reserve in Samsun province featuring a peninsula surrounded by water with forest areas and varying elevations. The grounds include different landscape types and multiple hiking trails that lead visitors to picnic spots and viewing areas.
The area was designated as a national park in 2017, which strengthened its protection status. This official recognition marked a turning point for the preservation of the landscape and its ecological diversity.
The park serves as a place where visitors can observe the local plant and animal life in its natural surroundings through walks across different forest types. This direct contact with nature makes it an important learning destination for school groups and families interested in understanding the regional environment.
The park has marked trails that allow visitors to explore independently and discover different sections of the grounds. Good footwear is recommended since the terrain features elevation changes and trails vary in surface conditions.
The protected area borders Altinkaya Lake, creating a junction between dense forest and water bodies at different elevations. This neighboring location allows visitors to experience two very different ecosystems within a short distance.
