Lake Nazik, Freshwater lake in Ahlat district, Turkey.
Lake Nazik extends over 44.5 square kilometers with a maximum length of 11.5 kilometers and a width of 7 kilometers at 1,816 meters elevation.
The natural formation of Lake Nazik resulted from ancient lava flows originating from the Bilican Mountains, which created a barrier across the valley.
The name of the lake appears in multiple languages, including Turkish, Armenian, and Kurdish, reflecting the diverse linguistic heritage of eastern Turkey.
Visitors can reach the lake through local transportation services from major cities in Bitlis Province, with the best access points along the southeastern shore.
The lake maintains a consistent depth between 40 to 50 meters throughout its expanse, creating specific conditions for local aquatic life.
